26 Best Bars in New York City
"Le Bernardin sommelier extraordinaire Aldo Sohm opened this chic wine bar in 2014, and it maintains one of the best wine lists in Midtown Manhattan. A respite from the corporate-leaning restaurants on its surrounding blocks, the space has low-slung sofas, graphic art, and glittering pendant lamps. The effect is akin to drinking in a very elegant friend's living room. Expect a mix of wine professionals and deep-pocketed executives from nearby Midtown offices, many of whom can rattle of the names of preferred vintages and intricacies of vineyard classification systems like their own phone numbers. There are 40 wines by the glass and 200 bottles on offer at any given time, spanning $15 pours of approachable Southern Italian white wines and expense-account-worthy cult bottles of Burgundy." - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
