"As far as we know, Babysips will be NYC’s first official “wine bar for the working class.” David Wilson, a veteran of Cosme and Blue Hill NYC, and partner Zoe Clifton are behind the upcoming Lower East Side spot, which, in addition to wine, will serve food inspired by the pair’s time in Spain and Brazil." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"With esoteric offerings like a chilled Croatian red and a skin contact blend from a pair of Lazian restauranteurs, the Lower East Side bar is very much for wine nerds. But it’s also for anyone who wants to kill some time with a sub-$70 bottle in a little basement on Rivington with seafoam walls. If you need a bite to go with your grenache noir, there are a few snacks like octopus salad and mini tuna melts." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
"David Wilson and Zoe Clifton met years ago while working together in Cosme’s kitchen. Now, they’ve opened the mint-green Babysips, the next hot Lower East Side natural wine bar with a small plates menu that pulls from their global travels. The tagline here is a “working glass wine bar,” the kind of place where you might spot folks from the wine industry actually hanging out." - Emma Orlow
"A natural wine bar opened by David Wilson and Zoe Clifton, with a food menu that “will pull inspiration from our time spent in Spain and Brazil, with a focus on more local ingredients,” according to Wilson." - Emma Orlow
"David Wilson and Zoe Clifton, who met years back working in the back-of-house of Cosme, opened a new natural wine bar this week on the Lower East Side at 176 Rivington Street, near Attorney Street. The food menu “will pull inspiration from our time spent in Spain and Brazil, with a focus on more local ingredients,” Wilson told Eater back in January." - Emma Orlow
