I completely agree; Tia Pol is wonderful -- their chorizo with bittersweet chocolate is, perhaps, one of my favorite dishes of all time...

Sounds divine. Can't wait to try it the next time I'm in NY. BTW, I, too, have signed on for the NaBloPoMo insanity, so please stop by. Though I am not a food blogger per se, I do often, often, post about my culinary exploits and indulgences. And hopefully, before we leave L.A. (we're moving to upstate NY next year) I'll get to give you a tour de tamale.

Oh I'm listening... and getting those terrible pangs I get for NYC in October, November and December. And missing all of the new restaurants that I have never heard of before... the longer I'm gone the more disconnected I am. Thank you for keeping me in the NYC loop; it makes me feel a little less lost.

Love them! I went a couple weeks ago (http://yumbrosia.com/2006/09/11/i-heart-new-york). My favorite was the fava bean puree, which it doesn't look like you got to try. If you go again, order it!

Flirtation with generalism is fine. I'm happy to have a post a day no matter what you write about.

I'm off to investigate pinot noir cava because who doesn't want to feel like a groovy princess.

Tia Pol is just a few blocks up from my office and has been a favorite of mine and my co-workers since it opened. Like Molly, I'm in love with the chocolate and chorizo which comes on little pieces of bread. It is such an unusual yet unbelieveable combination.

Molly - that DID look good to me, but there were just two of us so we didn't squeeze it in. I'm definitely going to try it next time, though. Thanks for the tip!

Paige - I'm glad to hear you'll be doing the crazy daily blogging thing, too. Strength in numbers... And what's this move to NYC all about? Do tell. Now I've got to get myself to LA SOON! :)

Maya - you'll just have to come out for a visit. I know how you feel about NYC in autumn, there is absolutely nothing else like it.

Aiofe - erm, actually, we did order the fava bean puree and found it to be totally unremarkable... I wonder if we got a tasteless batch of favas? I'll have to go read your review now.

Julie - well, thank you kindly ;) I hope you like the pink cava..

Lia - Where do you work? Now that I have both of your recommendations for the chorizo and chocolate, you can believe I'm trying it out next time. Can't wait!

Pinot noir cava? I am after it.

You have to try it! My office is in Chelsea Market. Is yours around there too? Cookshop is another good restaurant near Tia Pol.

I tried going there months ago and couldn't get a seat to save my life. It's too bad, because it takes a lot to convince me to make the trek to 10th Avenue. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though! Have you tried Boqueria yet?

Thank goodness Boqueria opened. Perhaps it will cut down on the crowds at Tia Pol.

Lindy - oh yes, you will love it.

Lia - hee, I guessed right. Ben used to work in Chelsea Market... I work further east, but I live just a few blocks away from CM. I've only been to Cookshop for brunch, but liked it well enough. Have you tried 202? I like that place.

Leland - I'm still mourning L'Acajou that was in the Boqueria space for years... I've been to Boqueria for a drink with some jamon and pan tomaquet in the summer, but I haven't been back for proper food yet. I must go. And you've got to try Tia Pol again! Earlier in the evening...

Lisa - That's a good point! Let's hope so.
