Quick NYC upper-end, under $25 corkage Rec

NYC Diners,

Need a quick rec for Saturday night, an upper end place preferably with $25 or under corkage that you might know off the top of your head.

I am considering Corton (not sure what their corkage is though) and thank you but this will not be a night for 11 Madison, Grammercy Park Tavern, TribeCa Grill, etc. Looking for something newer and exciting.

Thanks in Advance.

How upscale are you looking for Brent?

A few of the top of my head:

Public
BarBao
Bar Blanc
SavorNY
ápizz
Degustation
Hearth
Aldea (new)
Locanda Verde (new)
Harbour (new)

Don’t know the corkage for a few of them, but most of these places fit the bill for what you described (“upscale + new and/or exciting”).

Jorge,

Those all fit the bill, I will compare and contrast a bit. Thanks! Apiary was another I was considering.

I would go more upscale, but that would put the corkage out of reach. Not interested in paying anything north of $50.
