Kaña started as a joint venture between Roberto Orofino and the brothers Alejandro and
Andres Vega. They wanted to create a bar with a similar ambience to the ones found in Spain.
These bars served small food portions called Tapas, These type of food originated in Andalucia
Spain, in the days when wine or sherry were served with a slice of ham or chorizo sausage placed
over the mouth of a wineglass to keep fruit flies away. Tapas are simply different kinds of food
served in small portions. Tapas represent a Spanish style of eating and a way of life adaptable
to America. As a result of their informal and creative potential, Tapas are as varied as the chefs
who create them. To eat Tapas-style is to eat by whim, free from rules and schedules.
Tapas are ideal for those who love to have a good time while enjoying good food.
Since Kaña opened in downtown manhattan several years ago, this restaurant/lounge
has been very succesful in its implementation of this piece of the spanish culture into the American
lifestyle.
The ambience and decoration only add to the delight and enjoyment of the food served in this place.
Brick walls and dim lighting dominate the ambience which is accompanied by Latin and
Spanish rock music in the background which just add icing on the cake.
You're welcome to come and enjoy a piece of Spanish culture in this cozy romantic place. |
