Terroir:
In need of a facial? For the price of only a glass of wine you can sit at cozy new wine bar Terroir and have your face sprayed with gusts of steam from the dishwasher. Your makeup may be melting down your face, but the humidity does give this 24-seat bar a certain Italian authenticity. Join the hipsters and wine enthusiasts at the communal table while the knowledgeable staff helps you choose the right wine (yes, they are wearing Ché Guevara-inspired T-shirts of “wine revolutionary” Bartolo Mascarello, but hey, this is the East Village). Opened by the owners of nearby Hearth, this means former Craft chef Marco Canora’s charcuterie can compliment your $19 glass of Barolo. Avoid the hotbox rush and you’re rewarded with a stellar deal—between 5 and 6 p.m., have five glasses of wine for $25.
