Spanish Diner

Hudson Yards is full of people who are “working for the weekend,” and those people require Happy Hours to tide them over. Many of the establishments in Mercado Little Spain host “sangria hour” with discounted drinks and snacks from 4-7pm. But Spanish Diner, a huge separate restaurant with its own courtyard and TVs playing sports, feels more like the bustling bar you want to let loose in after work.

Come for the tapas and sangría de cava, and if you’re still hungry, stay for dinner combo platters of jamón-stuffed pork loin or seared squid. Or start your day with a solid breakfast of Arroz a la Cubana with ibérico sausage and eggs. They do have “diner” in the name, after all.
