One of the best ways to experience Spain's rich, diverse culture is through her cuisine. Our restaurant, La Nacional Tapas Bar and Restaurant, has been serving warm meals to our members since the opening of the Society in the 19th century.  Today, the "cantina" is opened to members and general public alike.  It's known for some of the most authentic and rustic Spanish cuisine in the city.  This is especially true about our paella, which the The New York Times called "as beautiful to look at in its pan as it is to eat" and New York Magazine hails as "exceptional."
