French bistro serving small plates, full meals & curated wine flights
"Aidan texts Carrie while she’s shoe shopping, asking if she wants to meet for lunch at 'that place we love' — it’s the second reference to a neighborhood spot they frequent this season. It turns out to be the longtime West Village bistro (not to be confused with the San Francisco-based bakery chain of the same name). Aidan’s already there, sitting at a patio table near the door, and orders them iced teas. They have an honest conversation about his trust issues and her frustration that everything she’s doing for their relationship will never be enough; their tenses reveal how they feel about their relationship, speaking in the past rather than the present. And just like that, they’re done. Cue Taylor Swift’s 'How Did It End?'" - Nadia Chaudhury
"At this Greenwich Village wine bar, you can sit directly under a heat lamp and shed layers like a Midwesterner getting off a flight in Miami. Make a reservation if you plan to have dinner, or walk-in if you’re just looking for snacks and French wine." - team infatuation
"You could stick around Amelie for a full dinner, but we prefer it for Happy Hour, when you can have several wine flights for $13 each. Whether you get seats at the long bar or a high-top, servers will bring you tastes of various wines and offer curated wine that you should definitely accept. You can share some mussels and crab tartine if your date passes your rigorous initial screening criteria." - team infatuation
"Amelie is a French wine bar just north of Washington Square Park that’s perfect for a fun and relatively affordable first date. They have a great Happy Hour that runs Monday-Thursday when you can try half glasses of any three wines on the menu for $14. Whether you get seats at a high-top table inside the narrow bar or outside on the covered patio, a server will likely bring you tastes of various wines to help you decide what you want to drink. If you get hungry, you can always snack on mussels or a crab tartine." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
"It took a few months, but you just realized that your deskmate, like you, is into wine. As soon as you stop talking about making plans to drink together and actually do make plans to drink together, come to this Greenwich Village spot and try a Happy Hour wine flight." - hannah albertine
