When I headed into the hallway, I ran into Hillary Clinton, who was staying in the hotel, and asked her if she thought this was the nicest caucus ever. She laughed a laugh that told me that...

...Start by rinsing away the capital's dust and heat with a glass of chilled rosé from a drinks list that is dominated by Spanish wines but includes pacharán - the Navarrese sloe gin that lends the restaurant its name. Then order some classic tapas - nutty Iberian ham, spiced shrimp and oil-drenched salads (skip the uninspired tomato bread) - to tide you over the 30-minute wait for seafood paella. Okay, paella isn't strictly speaking a tapas dish, but when it's this moist and intensely flavored who cares...
