"From the same people as Ruffian, Kindred is another great spot to drink natural wine and eat small plates in the East Village. Their sidewalk tables are under a big tent covered in hanging lights, so you won’t panic-sprint to the nearest scaffolding at the first sign of rain. Make a reservation ahead of time through their website, and order some orange wine and housemade corzetti with spicy ’nduja any day from 4-10pm (11pm on weekends)." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
