Everything chef Alex Raij touches turns to gold, but the octopus carpaccio is my least favorite dish to share in the entire city. I want it all to myself!

The rest of this recommendation is only available to paid members.

“Elegant, understated Spanish food in one of my favorite parts of Brooklyn, right along Cobble Hill Park. I love the octopus carpaccio and the slow-roasted suckling pig with chimichurri, and if you’re an anchovy fan, start with the Cantabrian anchovies and butter.”
