Casa Mono
Casa Mono Review
Andy Nusser put in his time cooking Italian under Mario Batali at Babbo before an obsession with Spain landed him his own acclaimed Iberian niche. The perennially cramped and crowded Casa Mono sends its overflow to Bar Jamón, the annex wine-and-ham bar next door, where you can pick at plates of jamon serrano while awaiting the call for a prime seat at the Casa Mono counter overlooking the chef's open kitchen. Though most menu items are delectably shareable, of particular note are all things seared à la plancha, including blistered peppers and garlic-kissed mushrooms. Like his renowned mentor, Nusser has a weakness for the most neglected cuts of meat so check your food fears at the door and try the blood sausage, cockscombs, or tripe.

My REVIEW IS FOR BAR JAMON, THE BAR ANNEX FOR CASA MONO
My spouse and I had drinks with friends at the Bar Jamon wine bar/ham bar adjacent to Casa Mono in mid-May 2011. We arrived around 4:00 pm and were lucky to secure seats at one of the two long tables (which probably each seat about 8 guests, either sitting or standing). The crowd ebbs and flows at this establishment, making it quite crowded at times before emptying. (Our Manhattanite friends tell us that it’s impossible to find a space inside on weekend evenings and were surprised at how uncrowded it was when we were there on a Saturday afternoon.) This bar is quite tidy and compact, reminding me of something you would find in Spain. Wine is available by the glass, carafe, or bottle, and is poured with great flourish. The food, particularly the meats and cheeses, looked excellent, but we didn’t have time to eat, which was a pity because the hams and cheeses and other tapas looked terrific (I have to give a numerical rating for the food in order to post this review, so I'll rate it a 4 because it looked like it had great potential). We will return again!
