"Maybe you know a lot about wine and want to show off your knowledge - or maybe this person knows more than you do, and you want to impress them by choosing a place with a great selection. Either way, check out Franks Wine Bar in Carroll Gardens. The 400-bottle wine list here is organized with helpful descriptions, and the small plates - like the octopus terrine, and pretty much anything doused in the phenomenal olive oil - are great to share. Also, you can order from the whole Frankies 457 menu (it’s right next door), and that housemade cavatelli with hot sausage will impress anyone." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
