The Lexington Social 7.9
East Harlem
Vibes: Girls Night Out Approved Happy Hour Hotspots Trendy Table Hotspots Group Dining Gatherings
Tapas wine and cocktail bar in Spanish Harlem serving Mediterranean small plates with a noticeable Spanish accent. It works best as a drink-first hangout where you fill the table with croquettes, chorizo, and flatbreads instead of committing to a long, formal meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Goat cheese croquettes, Chorizo with cannellini beans, Malfatis (spinach and ricotta dumplings)
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 8.2 Consistency: 7.4 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 8 Cultural Relevance: 6.2
What makes it special: Cozy neighborhood tapas and wine bar where cocktails, small plates, and conversation share top billing.
Who should go: Friends meetups wanting tapas, cocktails, and a relaxed bar scene
When to visit: Happy hour or early evening for drink deals and easier seating
What to order: Goat cheese croquettes, chorizo with beans, malfatis
Insider tip: Treat it as a drinks-and-tapas stop and plan dinner elsewhere if you want a full entrée-style meal.
