"The crowd at this women-run Champagne bar is about as bubbly as the brut everyone is drinking. But even though this is a wine bar, don't be intimidated: This is a place for the anti-snob. If you've have a particularly rough day, you can special order a cheap glass of white wine filled to the brim." - Jenna Scatena
