Pseudo-European NoLita-ites, and oenophiles alike finally have a vino depot they can all embrace. Though food is the "raison d'etre" of the establishment, an abundance of tables pretty much guarantees there will be room for you and your date to sit for drinks any time other that "rush hour." If you really want to impress your partner, read up on the extensive wine list. But get a good head start, it's about 20 pages long, though it mostly covers the national "territoire" if you know what we mean. They also specialize in highly-finessed, hand-crafted cocktails. Nuzzle up to the window with a freshly-pressed Pommeau and watch the models, actors/clothing designers, and other semi-employed hipsters stroll by. Yeah…keep on drinking.
