"The wave of natural wine bar openings was just around the corner when LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and company opened the Four Horsemen in 2015. Almost a decade later, the always-packed bar and dining room remains a gathering place for wine lovers, scenesters, Francophiles, and restaurant enthusiasts. It’s rare for a wine bar to hit a home run with both its drink and food menus, but this Williamsburg favorite strikes the right balance with its knowledgeable servers and Michelin-worthy small plates. Prices are in line with a celebratory night out. Getting in: Walk-ins have more of a chance of seats if you arrive when the restaurant opens." - Emma Orlow
