"Tucked down an alley across the street from Cinema 21, Bar Diane is both a quiet, cute spot to grab a glass of wine ahead of a movie and a main event dinner destination. The cheerful pink and blue dining room keeps the vibe light, with an outdoor patio for those who prefer a little fresh air; the by-the-glass list includes several strong pours for natural wine nerds, plus spritzes, cocktails, beers, and nonalcoholic drinks for all types. Share some oysters and hamachi crudo — maybe even splurge on some caviar if you’re looking to impress — and if you decide to linger for dinner, the burrata and butter poached carrots are standouts." - Asia Alvarez, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
