Desnuda....


which means "naked" in Spanish...

after a yummy veggie dinner at Westville (E.Village), my friend Carolyn who was visiting from Boston was craving a little wine.. and as a host in NYC, I did the 5min fumbling around of hmm, what area, what scene??? but then, I made the executive decision to take an evening stroll in my neighborhood (E.Village) and see what we may run into...on this evening, we ran into "desnuda".. a spanish ceviche and wine bar....what we got, was a delicious glass of Muscat and tasty popcorn. the secret behind this newsworthy fresh popped popcorn, is a little drizzle of truffle oil and salt in a clever newspaper wrapping..after speaking with our bartender Emilio, he insisted that we try the smoked oysters. the process was unique and exciting. with a flamed torch, he created a smoke effect which he captured in a glass bulb- he then placed these bulbs over the oysters..and the magic began. after sitting for a few minutes, we were ordered to inhale the smoke from the bulb and then the oyster..delicious....by evenings end, we had the couple next to us enthralled and excited to try this dish..all in all it was great service, delish oysters and nice wine..try desnuda..
