"Slate Wine Bar was known for its 200-plus bottle list with flights in categories like 'sparkling' and 'interesting' reds, plus charcuterie and small plates like Iberian pork shoulder and grilled octopus. The approachable alternative to Xiquet also offered $70 prix-fixe menus with $40 pairings. The venue is closing to accommodate the expansion of Xiquet DL." - Evan Caplan
