I usually don't go to wine places because I can see that I'm paying $16 for 1/8 of a bottle of wine I can buy for $35. $10 I can stomach for a glass of wine, though. Good to know.

They shouldn't even have those seats. <br /><br />We sat over toward the middle and the bartop (marble? granite? is gorgeous. <br /><br />The sole bartender was handling the entire room: bar and tables, and service was ungodly slow. And it was his first shift! <br /><br />But as things settled down and emptied out, we got to know the guy and the concept and it's pretty good. $10 glasses of wine are much more preferred to the typical $16 and $20 stuff you find in the East Village today. <br /><br />It was a tad bright in there as well, but its really a well-done space and I think it will take off, provided they lower the lights down and make it more cozy. <br /><br />Good luck to them! <br /><br />Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-61336181801056352112016-12-29T10:13:19.005-05:002016-12-29T10:13:19.005-05:00But what is the crowd like?

On one hand developers can't get enough of the "east village" vibe in pitching upscale development, and now here's a luxury space that the Times shouts "outclasses" the neighborhood. Great. None of this adds anything to the neighborhood but ways to spend spend spend. dwgnoreply@blogger.com
