1. Modeled after (and named for) the food markets of Barcelona, Mercat has an airy, rustic feel, with white tiles, wooden floors, and a menu rich with tapas and a variety of Catalan dishes.
2. To complement its tapas menu, Sala feels like an old-fashioned hacienda, with iron lanterns, antiqued yellow walls, and an open kitchen festooned with a tiled roof.
3. Behold the palatial, two-story terra-cotta gallery at the Hispanic Society of America that contains works by masters such as Goya, Velásquez, and El Greco.
