Wine and Some Food Near Times Square
Hilary Asks:
“I am going to a charity event in Times Square and need to find a place to eat afterwards around 9pm. I don’t want to stay in Times Square but it needs to be somehwere relatively close. I’m looking for small plates/good appetizers, strong wine selection and a lounge-y atmosphere. Needs to have a bit of style to it. Suggestions?”
My first suggestion would be The Modern at MOMA. While its certainly not cheap, the front room/bar sounds perfect for what you’re looking for. Great small plates, fantastic wine list and one of the sexiest spaces in the city.
If Columbus Circle isn’t too far then think about some of the spaces in the Time Warner Building. Bouchon Bakery is one of my favorites.. Great wines, great wine-food, and awesome deserts. Also check out Clo, the wine bar on the 4th floor - I’m pretty sure they serve some light food and it’s a really cool spot.
Let me know how it goes!
