The establishments below are presented in alphabetical order.

La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels — NoLIta

The bar of La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels in NoLIta

From the owners of Experimental Cocktail Bar, this NoLIta wine bar is not so experimental. It's just a solid vino-centric spot with an emphasis on French wines. The small plates menu includes house-made pâtés.

Recommended dish: Seared octopus.
