Sip a French Wine Flight in the West Village
Order a French wine flight, then let the red-lacquer bar carry you into a slow West Village night.
🍷 A Flight, Then Frites
Amélie sits on West 8th Street with a red-topped bar and a sidewalk terrace that fills the moment the weather turns. The pour is the point, a rotating French wine list you can taste in flights, reds and whites lined up along the lacquered counter. The kitchen keeps pace with steak frites and a bowl of truffle fries that disappears fast, and moules land in a broth that earns the last piece of baguette. Happy hour draws the after-work crowd, and the room stays loud and easy straight through dinner. On Friday and Saturday the doors hold open until midnight, and a single glass turns into a long table without much planning. Arrive early for the terrace, later for the noise, and let the bartender steer you toward a bottle you would not have opened alone.
