"The team behind Le Crocodile opened this flashy French wine bar six floors above their Williamsburg restaurant in the Wythe Hotel. Bar Blondeau is full of green velvet banquettes and two-tops where you can snack on tuna tartare, eat several rounds of oysters, and take in some great views of the Manhattan skyline with friends. You can also choose a bottle from their natural wine list—full of up-and-coming wine regions around the world—to enjoy on their large outdoor terrace." - bryan kim, kenny yang, nikko duren, matt tervooren, will hartman
