With Others

"With Others in Williamsburg nails the modern natural wine bar thing: low-intervention reds, whites, skin contact options, and bubbly stuff by the glass, enticing bottle deals, and an “apero trio” of fancy olives, marcona almonds, and fennel crackers that costs as much as a three-course lunch from the bodega. The lights are dim, the walls are slate gray, and the music plays just loud enough to make this a great first date spot. Don’t count on eating a full meal, but join in on the rest of the patrons’ quest of drinking two glasses of wine, splitting a cheese plate, and calling it dinner. Ideally, you learn a little bit about wine (and someone you're getting to know) while you're at it." - Will Hartman

"This place is inside the Williamsburg Whole Foods - but stay with us here. What’s more laid-back than drinking in a grocery store? And how many grocery stores have bars that serve draft beer alongside corned beef and latkes? This is the only one we know of. So the next time you and your friends want to escape the Sunday crowds of your local sports bar and catch a game on TV, check out N4." - bryan kim
