Open until 3am most nights and 5am on Fridays and Saturdays, El Borriquito is the spot if you love noisy, drawn-out dinners that turn into tipsy parties. You’ll want to bring a big group and book a late table at this Spanish restaurant, preferably on the weekend, so you can see some live music. Share tapas like pimientos de padrón and fried calamari from a jam-packed starter platter, and drink a bottle of rioja while listening to a couple of guys perform “Volare” by Gipsy Kings.
