Tia Pol for Tapas

We met up with Liz for a Friday night of tapas at Tia Pol.  Mel's coworkers highly recommended this place, so we were eager to try some of the dishes they mentioned.  

 fried chick peas 
(SO addictive - could snack on them all day!)

 squid in squid ink 
(don't let the name or mud color scare you - quite tasty!)

 fried potatoes with aioli

 fried custard with drunken cherries 
(sinfully good - could have eaten plates of them if we weren't health conscious!)


Overall, the flavors were smart and savory with paprika being a key spice in many of the dishes.  The sangria was tasty too, but a bit sweet (DJ's palate detected a hint of Coca Cola).  The decor is super cozy and hip, making the most of a small space in NYC.  Definitely check it out!  But get there early - it fills up fast.
