Cellar 58

Pouring wines from all over the world, Cellar 58 takes you on a global grapey adventure (or gets you drunk, whatever you want to call it) with more than a hundred bottles from, among various wine-producing countries, Bulgaria, Greece, Ecuador and Hungary—and plenty more-familiar locales as well. The food stays on firmer Italian ground with small and mid-size plates like the tuna-and-olive crostini and the proscuitto-and-mozzarella flatbread, while the décor captures a breezy but intimate, vaguely pan-European and handsomely rustic vibe. Wrought-iron stools flank communal tasting tables and walls of wine, and hearty candles provide a flattering glow. Sidewalk seating is in the works, as is an expanded wine list, if you're looking to "travel" further.
