One of many mysteries of José Andrés that scientists should study is the man’s ability to run New York’s most rewarding food hall when he doesn’t even live here. It is true that Mercado Little Spain is better for snacking than dining, but that’s true of almost all food halls, few of which cover as much ground. You can wander from kiosk to kiosk, grabbing a sugar-crusted xuixo for breakfast, a sack of churros with bittersweet chocolate sauce, a soft tortilla española right out of the skillet, gambas al ajillo sizzling in their fragrant oil, a glass of pretty much any kind of wine you’re in the mood for as long as it’s Spanish.

Instead, this Hudson Yards food hall from chef José Andrés is like a Spanish version of Eataly, with a slightly less corporate sheen. There are a bunch of stalls and kiosks for grab-and-go things like empanadas, flatbreads, and chorizo, as well as a few sit-down restaurants: La Barra has an extensive list of regional tapas, Leña is where you go for paella, Mar does seafood (with an onsite fishmonger), and Spanish Diner is the spot for rice, eggs, and chorizo with a side of Happy Hour sangria.

Similar to the all-Italian Eataly in the Flatiron District and World Trade Center, and the French-themed Le District in lower Manhattan’s Brookfield Place, this Spanish-inspired eatery from chefs Jose Andres and brothers Albert and Ferran Adria is inside Manhattan’s Hudson Yards development and has restaurants, bars and kiosks putting the spotlight on Spain’s regional foods. Have a tapas crawl, feast on asador-cooked meats, or simply dine on empanadas and bacalao frito followed by helado for dessert.

When: Mon to Thu, 3 pm-6 pmAs chef José Andrés’ “love letter” to Spain, Mercado Little Spain in Hudson Yards is an all-day shop for Spanish pantry staples, groceries, and dining. At its two restaurants, — Spanish Diner and La Barra—a special happy hour named Sangria Hour is available on most weekdays from 3 pm-6 pm. Selections at both spots include $5 sangria and $6 wines by the glass along with Spanish classics like croqueta del dia or gazpacho, in addition to special items exclusive to each eatery.

Mercado Little Spain is New York’s most ambitious ode to Spain and most recent entrant to the food hall wars courtesy of founders Jose Andres and brothers Albert and Ferran Adria. Like a growing number of food markets that have followed the Eataly model, there are several restaurants in this 35,000-square-foot space, as well as bars, a churro stand, and a supermarket.

Finally, festooned in the colors of Spain’s flag and the product of a proud patriot, noted chef Jose Andres, this food hall’s tight theme functions as a giant advertisement for Spanish tourism, one heavily trafficked by Manhattan tourists flocking to the High Line and Hudson Yards. Opened in 2019, Mercado features a dozen lively kiosks devoted to such foods as paella, patatas bravas dripping with tomato sauce, potato-fortified omelets and bikini sandwiches (a Catalonian take on grilled ham and cheese). Many are clustered around La Barra, a large counter-service tapas place where every plate is a duality of complex flavors and simple preparations — thin slices of toast glazed with thin layers of tomato puree and olive oil, garlicky poached shrimp in a sauce that begs for bread, roasted onions judiciously topped with toasted hazelnuts and crumbles of blue cheese.

If during your trip to New York you are homesick for Mediterranean cuisine in Hudson Yards, the trendy new neighborhood in Midtown along the Hudson River, you will find Little Spain Market, a gastronomic space dedicated to the flavors of traditional Spanish cuisine by the prestigious chef José Andrés in collaboration with the brothers Ferrán and Albert Adriá. Walking through its doors is like stepping into the temple of Spanish cuisine. The delicious aroma given off by the different stalls guides you through the market and the different regions of Spain without leaving New York.

When New York Times food critic Pete Wells visited José Andrés' Mercado Little Spain, he declared that it had "more great food and drinks per square foot than anywhere else in New York." From Ibérico hams and Peking duck to the seemingly simple yet ever-pleasing pan con tomate, the food at Hudson Yards' Spanish market has certainly made its mark on the gastronomy scene. But what sets Andrés apart from other chefs and restauranteurs is his entire vision. Mercado Little Spain is designed as a series of "streets," with the various kiosks leading guests on a curated experience.

Situated in the heart of the innovative Hudson Yards development, Mercado Little Spain is a testament to the global appeal of Spanish cuisine. The market is a sensory journey through the diverse regions of Spain, where each vendor brings a unique touch to traditional Spanish fare. From the lively atmosphere of Bar Celona, where tapas and cocktails flow freely, to the comforting warmth of Mar, where paella takes center stage, the market offers an authentic taste of Spain without leaving Manhattan.

Inside José Andrés’s Spanish food hall is Pasteles, a stand entirely devoted to regional Spanish pastries. There’s almond cakes from Galicia; xuixos — deep-fried, sugar-coated pastry filled with cream — by way of Catalonia; and Mallorcan ensaïmada, Spain’s version of sweet brioche. The Underground Gourmet is particularly fond of the cardenal, a meringue and cream sandwich with a circle of sponge cake at its center afloat in a Valrhona chocolate sauce.
