New York LaVara 🌟

🦞 Arroz Meloso $32 This tomato, sea urchin, and cream lobster risotto is absolutely amazing! 🦞 The texture is rich and creamy, with a burst of shrimp flavor in every bite. The tomatoes add a slight tang to balance the creaminess, preventing it from being too rich. It's truly delicious! 🍒 🍕 Tosta Tomaca $20 It’s like pizza but a million times better! The crispy, charred bread is topped with fresh, sweet tomatoes and marinated raw fish. It’s incredibly tasty. Even though I’m not a big pizza fan, I loved this! 🍔 🐙 Pulpo de Roca $21 Thinly sliced octopus that’s almost paper-thin but still retains the chewy texture of octopus. Seasoned with olive oil and a touch of chili powder, it’s very refreshing and appetizing. 🦑 Ensalada de Calamar $23 Squid paired with smoked walnuts, pomegranate, and grape leaf vinaigrette. The tangy dressing is perfect for cutting through the richness, and the texture is delightful. 🦑 🐢 Pipirrana con Grano $18 This dish is quite labor-intensive. Personally, I found it a bit too herbaceous, but my friends loved it! It has a rich, earthy flavor that feels like you’re dining in a meadow. 🌿 🍅 Tomate $18 Nothing special here. It’s pretty standard and not a must-order. #NYCExploration #NewYorkLife
