Wait — what's a pintxo?
Pronounced PEEN-cho, from the Spanish pinchar, "to pierce." Born in the bars of San Sebastián and Bilbao, a pintxo is a small, sculptural bite — often skewered to a slice of bread — meant to be eaten standing at the bar, drink in hand, before moving on to the next spot.
That's the whole culture: you don't settle in. You txikitear — hop from bar to bar, one bite and one pour at a time, with friends in tow. This crawl brings that ritual to New York.
