La planche libanaise

"Inside the Hoxton Hotel in the middle of a terrace is a petit wine bar that feels like you’re in a French chateau library. It’s a stately affair with high-top tables, leather bar stools, and wooden shelves filled with wine bottles. The European wine list leans organic with a few orange options, and you’ll always drink good wine or try something new. Walk-ins are possible during the week, but play it safe and make a reservation online if you’re coming on weekends when it’s busier. We like sitting at one of the marble tables and having a drink before dinner. " - sara lieberman, tanisha townsend
