Terroir
413 E. 12th St, New York, NYHaving already professed our love for Terrior Tribeca, it should come as no suprise that we back the original in the East Village just as hard.

Il Posto Accanto
190 E. 2nd St., East Village, NYIl Posto Accanto is home to some of the best meatballs and pastas in town, along with a great wine list and open air dining.

Corkbuzz Wine Bar
13 E. 13th St., Union Square, NYYou know what, it’s our fault. We should have known that we were going to hate this, and skipped the place all together. Warning signs that should have been heeded: 1) cutesy wine bar name. 2) confounding mission statement. 3) the fact that there is a mission statement. 4) $35 glasses of wine on the [...]
