The review of a Spanish

I went to Bar Jamon some weeks ago. It was so amazing for a Spanish to find a bar like this one. It was like a return to my country, Spain. In Spain, almost every bar has a wide selection of cured hams, from serrano to iberian. The serrano ham (from white pigs) is what almost every non European Union citizen can consume. For the iberian one (from iberian pigs) you have to wait some months. I think you can pre-order them in latienda.com (http://www.tienda.com/indepth/jamoniberico.html), but it is very expensive compared with the main Spanish Iberian Hams shops, such as Ibergour.com (http://www.ibergour.com). Unfortunately for me, if the world discover the finest of all hams, its price will raise too much for my pocket. It's better than caviar, in my honest opinion.

ham and cheese

Not only is the Iberian ham to die for, the sardines en escabeche, olives, and other delicacies are perfect for the early meeting or the late night love affair. The wine list is impeccable and the sommelier is more than fluent in his passionate descriptions. Have the aged manchego, sip on a delicate wine, and fall in love all over again.

This place is great for its extensive wine list and hip atmosphere. It is great to go with work-friends or a date.

A slice of Madrid in NYC

A very respectful effort put forth by the Batali battalion spinning off a Spanish wine bar. Thank heavens this wine bar's wine list is sensibly priced unlike a lot of overindulgent wine bars that persist in NYC. With the wonderfully complementary tapas menu, you're not going anywhere for awhile until you've had a bottle or two of Rioja and Ribera del Duero with sliced Iberian ham, smoked sardines, and olives to soak it all down!

Bar Jamon - Unique-Almost Authentic

Great and authentic atmosphere. Service is exceptional ! Lot's of wine and food knowledge. However - my 16 plus years of living in Spain did not prepare me to 'relate' to 75% of the food served. None the less - a great effort - which knowing the Batali - Bastianich model - will only get better!
