"The team behind Le Crocodile opened this flashy French wine bar six floors above their Williamsburg restaurant on the bottom floor of the Wythe Hotel. Bar Blondeau is full of green velvet banquettes and two-tops where you can snack on tuna tartare, order several rounds of oysters, and take in some great views of the Manhattan skyline. You can also choose a bottle from their natural wine list to enjoy on their large outdoor terrace." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
