Lower East Side, Manhattan · bar
Owner Fernando Hernandez runs this Clinton Street wine bar like a proper neighborhood joint—he knows your name, his team knows your order, and the shrimp scampi always beats expectations. The list rotates through creative, hard-to-find pours and comes in quartinos, which is the right way to try a few things without committing to a full bottle. Open until 2am on weekends, because some nights that's just where you end up.
