Xai Xai:
Looking for an excuse to suggest "just one more drink" after dinner without seeming like a total lush? Continue your quest for culture - and booze - at Xai Xai. Featuring wines solely from South Africa, this spot will give you an education with your buzz. Many of the varietals here are rare, and the bartenders know what they're talking about (also rare!). They offer a solid selection of organic wines, which will impress your eco-freak friends. Brick walls and distressed wood columns create an intimate setting, so take a seat in the front if you feel like small talking or a seat in the back if pillow talk is more your thing.
This is the cutest place with great wine, fantastic dessert and to top it off the service is incredible. Its a must go, esp great for after seeing a show!

AMAZING!
Nestled in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, this is by far the most quaint bar on the block. The music is amazing, the art is on target, and the wine is paired with authentic South African cuisine. The scene is lively, yet intimate enough for a conversation. Hands down the best place in Hells Kitchen BY FAR!
