Pierre Loti Wine Bar

Tucked between Union Square and Gramercy Park, this neighborhood haunt draws inspiration from European wine culture. The wood-accented, darkish, cellar-like space features a wine program highlighting French varietals alongside Old and New World bottles. For food, the kitchen prepares plates like muammara with warm bread, truffle deviled eggs, and a brie flatbread with walnut, fig, and honey. The intimate layout makes it equally fitting for romantic dates or a solo dinner, with patio seating opening up during the summer.
