Flatiron, Manhattan ยท bar
A Flatiron wine bar in a building from the 1860s. Banquette seating, 450-plus bottles, and a list weighted toward natural and low-intervention wines from Burgundy, Barolo, and Bordeaux. The dinner menu runs to grilled meats, sustainable seafood, and seasonal vegetables, built to hold up alongside serious bottles. Come with a few hours to spare.
Caper relish, baby gem lettuce, and sourdough croutons, an elevated take on a classic.
Gruyere and Bentons Ham croquette topped with a quail egg, a proper wine bar snack.
Dates stuffed with nduja sausage and stracciatella. Rich, savory, built for red wine.
