RESTAURANT REVIEW

If 41 Degrees, with its molecular fireworks, is symbolic of Albert Adrià’s ego, then the next-door Tickets is certainly his id. Tickets is a modern-day tapas bar where the kitchen has been split into stations specializing in a specific aspect of the meal. The experience does not seem all that unusual until you realize the cannelloni is made from avocado and stuffed with a crab and mayonnaise salad, the razor clams are served with refried sauce and lemon air, and the confit potatoes come with Iberian-cured ham and pork rib juice. Reviewers love the place, offering comments like “excellent food and pure entertainment ” “innovative and delicious” and “downright fun and exciting.” If you can’t decide what to eat, just order the Waiter’s Choice Tapas, a casual version of a tasting menu.
