Boqueria – Flatiron
About Boqueria – Flatiron
As the flagship location that launched the Boqueria brand, the Flatiron outpost brings the vibrant energy of Barcelona’s famous El Mercado de la Boqueria to the heart of Chelsea and Flatiron. The atmosphere is defined by its lively Spanish zest, featuring warm wood accents, a bustling open kitchen, and a sophisticated marble bar. It has long served as a neighborhood anchor for those seeking authentic tapas, paella, and their signature sangria in an environment that balances upscale dining with high-energy hospitality.
For private events, Boqueria Flatiron excels at creating a communal, celebratory feel. The menu focus on shareable plates makes it a natural fit for social gatherings where movement and conversation are encouraged. Whether hosting a small group along the kitchen counter or taking over the entire 19th Street space, guests can expect a seamless flow of seasonal Spanish dishes and a beverage program rooted in Spanish wines and spirits.
