The Stanton Social Written by Gabrielle Lipton 18 NYCMONTHLY CINCO DE MAYO
A consensual favorite part of every Mexican meal is the libations, and especially those carrying a name as lovely to say as to sip: margaritas. Arriba SERVING UP Arriba (9th Ave. at 51st St.) makes notoriously good ones, though no one quite knows their secret. Perhaps it is their size selection, ranging from the four-ounce “El Bebe” to the 27-oz “La Mama,” or the juicy tropical flavors like blood orange and passion fruit. Meanwhile, Pampano (49th St. nr. Lexington Ave.)—an award-winning, fine dining CELEBRATE THE MEXICAN HOLIDAY IN THE CITY Mexican restaurant operated in part by famed opera Cinco tenor Placido Domingo – turns margaritas into a culinary experience. Best sipped in the outdoor dining area, the drink is made complex with ingredients such as hibiscus, tamarind, and tequila infused with jalapenos. Think of them as a new way to achieve creative consciousness. For something decidedly on-trend, the brand new Tequila Park (58th St. nr. Ninth Ave.) opens this May in the Private Park of the Philippe Starck–designed Hudson Hotel. A courtyard lounge with a bohemian-chic vibe, the Park is sure to be the perfect spot to grab dinner at its taco shack and chill out with a fresh-juice margarita or Mexican beer. Music performances on select nights only help the cause. Tequila tastings may sound like another phrase for “shots!” given the liquor’s reputation as a party drink. But when the finer bottles of tequila are brought out and poured in carefully chosen arrangements, the experience can be on-par with a sampling Scotch or Brandy. In the West Village, the chic, white-tablecloth Agave (7th Ave. nr. Charles St.) houses a library-like collection of Mexican spirits about which servers are happy to introduce and educate newcomers. Lists of every category of the alcohol are index-like, from blancos (tequila aged two months or less) all the way up to extra-añejos (a minimum of three years), not to mention the mescals, sotols, and specialty agave spirits. It can all be quite a bit to navigate, but the ¡Ay, caramba!
