For Dan's birthday I took him to Txikito in NYC for delicious Basque dinner. The food was delicious and authentic, as good as food that we had in San Sebastian. Definitely a great place to go to NYC if you are in the mood for authentic Basque cuisine.

 |
| Kroketas - classic salt cod croquettes. Perfectly fried and great texture inside |
 |
| Txiki Txanpi - miniature Porcini mushroom grilled cheese |
 |
| Marijuli - sweet pepper, tomato, Jamón, Basque anchovy |
 |
| Pulpo - octopus carpaccio, lemon oil, marjoram, Piment d’espelette |
 |
| Close up of the pulop. So thinly sliced yet so meaty. My fav dishwz |
 |
| Menestra - spring vegetable medley, with peas, sugar snap peas, chanterelle mushrooms, radishes, pea puree, and sauce of Iberico fat back. This was a special that day. Great way to get our veggies plus pork flavor |
 |
| Pil Pil - olive oil poached salt cod, crispy garlic, pil pil. Dan had tried to cook this at home and was not quite so successful. This was delicious. Sauce had great flavor and not too thick or thin. Fish was like tender meat. So good |
 |
| Cochinillo - slow roasted suckling pig with Tximitxurri sauce. Great crispy skin and tender meat |
