Turks & Frogs: Forget about tchotchkes. They may be cute and decorative, but the truth is, nobody comes here looking for Wedgwood compot dishes. Though antiques are part of the concept, this adorable little spot,
complete with white-trim wainscoting and antique mirrors, serves an even more enticing selection of wines by the glass—over 30 reds and an equal number of whites—with prices falling between $8 to $12 apiece. Step past the candlelit bar and plop yourself down on the lush upholstery for a foray into oenology. Add a little Middle Eastern snack and you’re set for the night. The wine list includes highly desirable appellations from all corners of the grape-ridden globe; a separate but equally impressive selection is poured by the bottle. See, sometimes frogs really do turn out to be princes.
