Four days left to eat it, five to vote for it.

Sweet chorizo, kesong puti, anchovy and ikura on toast. A Filipino breakfast shrunk down to one bite, with a cold Estrella Galicia. $12 at the bar, 5 to 7pm, through Saturday.

If you’ve already had our pintxo, the vote for Pintxo Crawl Champion closes Monday. The code is in the back of your passport, and you don’t need all fifteen stamps to use it. One vote, ten seconds.

If you haven’t, you’ve got until Sunday. No reservation, just come to the bar.

They have been ordering the same thing long enough, that the kitchen sees it coming as soon as they come through the door. 🍛👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽

Rose seated at the chef’s table, a plate of Pulpo Romesco in front of her and the family. Charred Octopus with 87 ludlow’s red romesco sauce, served as a starter.

Raffy at the bar with a glass of white wine a bowl of crab congee beside him: warm, light, towards the tail end of service.

Mark at a table with a pan of paella sizzling between him and the people he is eating with rice and seafood still in the pan.

Reese watching bone marrow being torched over steak fried rice. The flame close to the bone as smoke rises in the dining room.

Three years ago Mark would have told you he’s never liked paella. Then he walked into 87 Ludlow. 🥘

This is how 87 Ludlow before service. Candles being lit, glasses set, the bar ready and the doors about to open. It’s where every good night here starts. 🌙🥂

This is first of a few posts. There are more faces in 87 Ludlow. Welcome back! ❤️✨

Chef Nikko calling dishes in the kitchen. Kitchen Commander by day, Cheers Commander post-service. Every plate that reaches your table passed him first. ✨🤌🏼

Mahalia talking with guests at their table. Double major in hospitality and public relations. Officially she seats you, realistically you end up in a spirited topic about food and life. 👐🏼 ✨

Lambert greeting guests and working the floor. Floor General by day, party starter by night. Genuinely knows people. He’ll make a first visit feel like a fifth and keep the night alive after doors close.

Sebastian working the bar. He’s the Head of Whatever’s Needed. Drinks, admin, front of house, and whatever came up in the last ten minutes. Seb is somehow in the right place at the right time.

He claps, the kitchen answers. Our very own Chef Diego, starting service with a flick of his wrists.

Say hello to the 87 Ludlow crew ✨
The familiar faces of your Lower East Side tapas bar, here to pour the wine and keep the plates coming 🍷

No better feeling than seeing the first wave of tickets roll in. We’re ready for another packed weekend. Live music at the bar, of course ✨
