Lower East Side, Manhattan ยท 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.
House goat cheese, pairs well with the natural wine list
Classic Catalan tomato toast, pairs with any glass
Fan favorite small plate, always fresh ingredients
