"On the weekends, it’s also nearly impossible to find a bar on the Lower East Side that isn’t overflowing with people who stay out until 2am in order to avoid self-reflection. At Parcelle, however, you can make a reservation. The space is mellow and loungy, set up like a living room with corduroy sofas and coffee tables. They exclusively serve beer and wine, with lots of interesting bottles under $100, and they have a dinner menu featuring charcuterie, uni toast, and a fried chicken sandwich." - bryan kim
