"Are the glasses stubby? Yes. Is it quirky? Aside from a single LED light and a few octagonal tables, not really. What's it good for? Low-key evenings on the Lower East Side. Skin Contact isn’t trying too hard, and that’s why we like it. The space is dark and mellow, and there’s a patio out front where you can hang out and observe the latest fashion trends inspired by the early-2000s VMAs. If you’re looking for a good selection of wines by the glass, stop by and see what’s available. You might find some muscat from southern France with strong notes of geranium-flavored Betty Crocker frosting, or you might encounter a German chasselas made from grapes hand-picked under the light of a full moon." - bryan kim
