New NYC bars and clubs

Brooklyn Heights Wine Bar

Back in the realm of the living (and drinking) is Brooklyn Heights Wine Bar—formerly known as 50 Henry Wine Bar when it was run by a swindler who stole $25K from his customers' credit cards—which reopened in the spring of 2009 under new ownership, thankfully. And those new owners are not swindlers! They're the good people who run the immediately neighboring Henry's End Restaurant and the food market Cranberry's, and under their steering the wine bar and restaurant is serving dozens of wines by the glass and bottle, along with breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that're heavy on the small plates, crepes and panini. The bar's simple, woodsy and bright décor features (almost) floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the place with sunlight, wooden beams stretching across the ceiling and a handful of tables and bar stools for guests to sit and enjoy a glass of pinot grigio—or a plate of poppyseed waffles. Or a bowl of ravioli with fiddlehead fern pesto!
