Omnivore - The lollipop look

Loca Luna has left its home on Juniper Street and reopened at 550 Amsterdam Ave., in the huge space vacated by the Red Chair. The place is festive. You get your nightly dose of live salsa music. You get your tasty tapas and, if you decide to get full, you get a hefty bill. You also get friendly servers (ask for Brittany, “not Britney!”).

If Edgewood Corner Tavern practices pinwheel aesthetics, Loca Luna excels at lollipop design. My favorite tapa we sampled was the beet lollipops (pictured above). Each juicy rectangle was topped with goat cheese and some microgreens, skewered on a stick. I also liked the lamb lollipops meatballs, similarly presented.

I’ll have more to say in this week’s Grazing column, but if you go before reading that, be sure to try the pistachio flan.
