Rio Mar was a Spanish restaurant located in the meatpacking district of New York City, occupying a wedge of space between Little West 12th and Gansevoort streets. Despite the opening of flashy Pastis across the street, Rio Mar remained relatively obscure. After 24 years in business, the restaurant closed its doors, leaving behind a dim downstairs bar that served peanuts in the shell and a loyal following of customers.
Known for its moody romance, Rio Mar was a favorite spot for locals to enjoy red wine and Spanish cuisine. However, like many beloved establishments in New York City, Rio Mar fell victim to the ever-changing landscape of the city, leaving its patrons to reminisce about the disappearing places they had grown attached to.
