Parcelle

If you care about wine and talk about it often, you’ll like hanging out at Parcelle. There’s no actual bar here, but you'll find leather couches, an array of little round tables with corduroy chairs, and a communal table where you can ask potential new friends how the chilled light red from Portugal is. Around 10 wines by the glass are available, and you have access to Parcelle’s full inventory of bottles as well. (They’re also a wine retailer.) Although there’s a full food menu, we prefer using this place for pre-dinner drinking. The vibe is casual and unpretentious, but don’t be surprised to see people who get paid to look bored in Balenciaga ads pop in throughout the night. You’re in Dimes Square, after all.
