"If you want all the good parts about Dimes Square (the high-quality food and a reason to dress like you’re an extra in The Matrix), but none of the crowds, then Carlota should be high on your list. It’s a tapas spot that often gets overlooked because it’s right next to the vibrant Bar Belly, and we prefer it that way, because we can always get a table. Go with a few friends for some olives, croquetas, and a glass of Spanish red, and make conversation over the built-to-share chorizo katsu sandwich." - Carina Finn Koeppicus, Bryan Kim, Hannah Albertine, Will Hartman
