ABOUT THE RESTAURANT

The bold and improvisational nature of our menu showcases food and wine that is contemporary, original, and authentic all at once.

ABOUT MICHELIN GUIDE POINT OF VIEW
Chef Alex Raij knows her tapas and helped kick-start the craze in Manhattan when she opened beloved Tía Pol years ago, before moving on to the equally popular El Quinto Pino. In 2012, the chef jumped boroughs to Brooklyn and opened La Vara, which she co-owns with husband, Eder Montero. Billing itself as "cocina casera" or "home cooking," this kitchen elevates humble cuisine to such impressive levels that it's proved well worth the cab trip for non-Brooklynites. Product quality is excellent, and the playful spirit behind dishes is the definition of creative cooking. Menu highlights include salmorejo, a delicate and flavorful salt cod carpaccio, and crispy suckling pig, with confit-tender meat. End with melocoton, or wine-poached peaches in a light custard.

Theater For New Audience: 2 tickets to WAITING FOR GODOT!
DATES
April 25 - May 24, 2020
ABOUT THE SHOW
Directed by Arin Arbus
Written by Samuel Beckett
Since their first appearance in a tiny Paris theater in 1953, Samuel Beckett's iconic down-and-outs Vladimir and Estragon have rarely been off the stage. Nearly every evening, somewhere on the globe, they show up for their dubious appointment with a savior named Godot who never comes, filling time with games and musing aphoristically on existence. Hilarious and heartbreaking, Waiting for Godot is the modern theater's indispensable document of rootlessness, uncertainty, and perpetually postponed deliverance.

ABOUT THE EVENT
Amali sommeliers will lead a 20 minute tasting and discussion of different types of rosé from around the Mediterranean and share insider knowledge on how to pick a great rosé for your next dinner party or night out. The talk will take place in one of Amali's private rooms and include a a selection of mediterranean dips and charcuterie.
The talk is led by one of an accredited sommeliers or managing partner James Mallios (a former stand up comedian) who was described by Decanted as "about a hundred miles from the stereotypical sommelier. He's bald, brash, and tough-a sort of Greek version of Tony Soprano who looks more likely to kneecap you than pour you a glass of natural wine".
Rosé will pour freely through the class! The class runs about 1.5 hours.
