"Sure the bodega under your apartment carries a small selection of adult beverages, but Happy Cork in Weeksville has a huge selection of wine and spirits, including a wall that’s entirely dedicated to Black-owned beverage companies. That includes options like Maison Noir chardonnay from the owner of & Sons and grande réserve brut from the Stuyvesant Champagne team. Among the bottle shelves, you’ll find flower bouquets, fancy candles, wooden coasters, and marble wine glasses inside this laid-back spot on Buffalo Ave." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
