The 19 Best Wine Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The quality of the seafood at this East Village wine bar is so exceptional, we routinely order two rounds of their shrimp cocktail. The 31-seat, low marble bar is deep enough for a full dinner spread, should you choose to follow your Ice Box of assorted, gem-like raw seafood and freshly baked brioche loaf with an elegantly frenched dover sole. Behind it, there’s a stocked-to-the-ceiling wine room. You’ll find a short menu of excellent by-the-glass options and bottles, but if you want to see the complete list of around 1,000 wines, largely from Europe, just ask." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
