"You’re probably not going to be able to get a table at Septime, but you can squeeze into its tiny wine bar around the corner with everyone else who had the same idea. Pick a bottle from the case along the wall and head to a stool at the bar, or settle into one of the few chairs along the window if you can snag one—most nights, it’s standing-room-only. This spot is stocked with a short list of whites, oranges, and reds by the glass (with one or two rosés and pét-nats for good measure), and an even smaller list of snacks like olives, comté with fig chutney, and leeks in a mimosa vinaigrette." - sara lieberman, tanisha townsend
