Wine bars near NYU - Washington Square Park?

Epicurean Exploits - Food and Recipes

I’m looking for a couple of bars with a nice selection of wine by the glass, reasonable bottle prices, and maybe some food (small plates or otherwise) in this part of NYC.

Thanks for the feedback on Nougatine in my prior thread. Sadly, I’ve read many reviews where diners complained of excessively salted dishes. I’m not sure we’ll be trying that after all.

Not a wine bar but try the lounge at North Square. Perfectly located for you with an interesting snack/app menu and thoughtfully selected and reasonably priced wines by the glass. Reasonable corkage as well if you are so inclined.

Otto is good if you hang out at the bar

8th street wine bar. great spot run by 2 ex-union square cafe guys.

My sister-in-law lives there and when we visit we always go to Otto and the Knickerbocker, kids and no kids. Mike

Pata Negra (345 E 12th St # B), not very far, was recd by several people here–including Jorge IIRC? Or do I slander him neener .

Haven’t been there myself.

No slander Mr. Kleban. Although it really is a bit of a hike on foot to Pata Negra from the area the OP inquired about. Approximately 25 minutes on foot.

Hey, you don’t walk very fast, papa chulo! It’s less than a mile… You young guys need to get in better shape.

Man, you walk slow now that you live in the 'burbs. neener

The rest of us can make it in 10-15 minutes on foot. One more block over from Pata Negra and you’re at Terroir. But 8th Street Wine Bar is pretty good too and a block from the area you’re in, as is Otto.

11

That was Google Maps’ estimate you clowns.

12

Wow, you really are a suburbanite now. pepsi

Wife and I don’t mind walking a lot. We tend to do that anyway when we’re in a city. So should we get ourselves over to Terroir? I guess I’ve opened things up, now. [cheers.gif]

15

Oooooh man, now we’re talking.

Within a 5-30 minute walking distance you’ve got lots of choices, both East and West:
-8th Street Wine Bar
-Otto
-Pata Negra
-Terroir
-Ino (more of a sandwhich bar but good selection of wines)
-Turks & Frogs
-Blue Ribbon Wine Bar
-Ten Bells (AWESOME wine list, but that would be the 30 minute walk, unless you’re Jorge in which case it’s more like 75 minutes…) neener
-Anfora (never been but I’ve been told it’s nice)

Cheers! [berserker.gif]
