"Why there are so many tapas options in Chelsea? We’re not sure, but Salinas is there too, and it’s great for when you might want to eat a meal that isn’t all tapas in a place that kind of feels like a lodge near a Spanish mountaintop. This restaurant is full of plush chairs and vases filled with flowers, and there’s nice open-air patio in the back. Come with a group and spend a decent amount of money on huge plates of paella and excellent charcuterie." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
