"You can’t do much better than Parcelle for a glass of wine in a cool downtown setting. The Dimes Square wine bar has two spaces: an upstairs lounge with velvet seating in shades of Wicked Witch green, and a dark basement area that looks like the scene of the trendiest house party in Dazed and Confused, with vintage couches, and disco playing over the speakers. Grab some snacks, like scallop and brown butter crudo, or some deviled eggs, or their crunchy fried chicken sandwich for something more filling. It’s a great spot to start a Lower East Side bar crawl. " - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja
