"There’s something about the old leather booths at El Quijote that feels extremely conducive to canoodling over a plate of plump gambas al ajillo. The Spanish restaurant inside the Hotel Chelsea is dark and full of personality, with stained-glass lampshades and depictions of Don Quijote doing battle with windmills. Split some patatas bravas and scene-stealing cocktails before delving into the paella (if you’re very hungry), or having one last drink at the Lobby Bar." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
