Default Spanish restaurant in Manhattan

Well after searching around for restaurants i thought this would be a
great place to help me out. So I hope you don't mind me coming in here
and channeling it through the group to see if I can get some help.

I am a senior in High School and president of our Spanish club. I have
been trying to plan a trip to Manhattan which we are 20 minutes away
from. The point of the trip is to have dinner at a Spanish restaurant
which i think would be pretty cool. Now i know there are plenty of
really great places all over the place but here's the problem: I ran it
through the club advisor and she doesn't really want to go far from
Grand Central. Only because there are a number of kids very unfamiliar
with the city and we'd like to keep the restaurant in walking distance
so we can play it safe. Anywhere that's 10'ish or less blocks away
would be really nice.

So who knows any neat places we can go to that will seat somewhere
around 10-15 people and doesn't have high, high prices? I nice
Spanish feel to the place would be pretty cool too.

Thanks so much for any help!!!

A little further away than you wanted but the Spain Restaurant (actual
name) on 13th (btwn 6th & 7th Ave) will fit all of your other
requirements nicely. They have a larger dining room in the back with
large tables. Food is really good and affordable and they put
complimentary appetizers in front of you as soon as you sit.

If walking is a requirement it is less than 1 1/2 miles from Grand
Central to the restaurant which would be a 30 minute walk and you could
enjoy the city during the walk.

Darragh, you might be better served at rec.food.restaurants. Good luck!
Or see if you can get your hands on a Zagat guide. (Or hope that
Margaret sees this and looks for one on your behalf. "-) ¡Que tenga
buena suerte!

I saw this, but I cannot be of help. I am not familiar with a single
Spanish restaurant in Manhattan. I am sorry. (

Yeah, but doesn't Zagat have any Spanish restaurants identified?

http://www.chowhound.com (message boards) is another excellent site.

But in this case, considering the constraints, I don't know if there
would be a better suggestion than George's.

I would never recommend something or someone I do not know. The Zagat
Guide is accessible on the Internet, as far as I know, but you must
subscribe now. I really cannot help you.
