Majorca

The tapas at Majorca are more strongly influenced by North Africa than at any other tapas bar in town, and it works to its advantage. Albondigas, or meatballs, are fat and filling — especially when topped with a fried egg — and the merguez lamb that features in many dishes is wonderful when tucked into a crusty sandwich. The sangria is so good, you'll want to go ahead and order a pitcher and down it with friends on the patio fronting Midtown's busiest street.
