The 11 Best Natural Wine Bars In NYC
"Are the glasses stubby? Yes. Is it quirky? The space isn’t, but the menu is. What’s it good for? When you want to eat something that'll imprint itself on your brain. Is Place des Fêtes a wine bar? They serve wine, have a bar, and call themselves a wine bar, so we have no choice but to use the label. But this earth-toned Clinton Hill spot is pretty much a full-on restaurant. They serve a handful of incredible seafood-focused small plates and interesting vegetable dishes, and there are always a couple of larger options (pasta, fish) on the menu as well. You come here mainly for the food—don’t skip the sardine toast—but the cocktails are great, and the wine list features a ton of mostly Spanish options. Tables can be tough to snag, but you can always put your name in for a seat at the bar." - bryan kim
