Best NYC Restaurant Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, December 15, 2025 | Eater NY

"I went to the opening night at Stars, the new wine bar (an actual wine bar, not a restaurant) from the Claud and Penny duo, Chase Sinzer and Joshua Pinsky. The room is warm and welcoming, and the bartenders really know the broad strokes and the fun details of the wines on the list. It’s also refreshing that the by-the-glass options are $11 to under $20. I tried a bunch of snacky items, and was smitten by the shrimp sandwich ($14), a small but satisfying couple of bites on focaccia with shrimp that were sliced crosswise, layered with a dab of creamy aioli, and a barely-there mandolined lemon slice with the rind that really punches up the citrus. Walk-ins only — it’s wonderful." - Bettina Makalintal

Such a good wine bar. The ambience is very relaxed, the wine list is extensive. The apple dish and all of the food is a perfect pairing. 10/10, excellent follow up to Penny and Claude

Tiny, EPIC wine bar from the Penny & Claude team. We ordered the entire menu and there were no skips! Chicken liver mousse is a standout and you have to get the Brie cheese - best I’ve ever had. Awesome pours & service too.

Perfect. Truly, no other word to describe it. Just enough buzz to be energetic, yet easy to have an intimate conversation. The mousse is in my top 3 bites of 2025. Wine selection is tightly curated, thoughtful, and served at the perfect temp in amazing stemware. We happened to chat with Josh, the proprietor, at the end, who is so lovely. This must be a neighborhood staple.

Superbly priced 12 seat counter. Came in on a Tuesday so seating wasn’t necessarily an issue. Mike was a great help from the bar, and the rest of the staff are very warm and friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

Felt like a tiny little hi-fi bar in Tokyo. Great wine and bites. Will definitely be back.

One of the best wine bars I have been to in a while.
