$100 Gift Card to Casa Mono or Bar Jamon The lone Spanish baby of Molto Mario's empire, CASA MONO has been an Irving Place destination since it opened in '04. Chef Andy Nusser has crafted a menu of substantial tapas and medium-sized entrées, done mostly "a la plancha" with unmistakably Catalan flavors; get the duck egg with mojama. NB: If you have trouble securing a table, and chances are you will, little sister BAR JAMÓN is right next door.
