8th Street Wine Cellar
Lately NYC drinkers prefer to keep their dirty habit under wraps by hiding away in speakeasy-style basements. Hey, we don’t explain it, we just write about it. Enter the latest offender: 8th Street Wine Cellar. Michael Lagnese and Jonny Cohen (who both got their start at the basement level of Union Square Café) have created a more relaxed atmosphere to tend to all your prohibition-era needs. Known for their expertise in vino and killer martinis, these two took the speakeasy concept and added a very important component: space! (Can I get an amen?) Because let’s be honest—winos like to focus on their drinks. For those scared of the dark, there’s an usual outdoor “slip” underneath street level that is too small for sitting but enough for a stogie and glass of wine while you check out the passing tootsies. Toe-riffic!
