Bar Henry

Just added!

Oh, Henry! This wine-centric bistro, from the folks behind Café Henri, has a lotta history going for it: It's located in the cellar of a 19th-century townhouse, some of its chairs were from the old Plaza Hotel and its bar is made out of 100-year old salvaged mahogany from Cold Spring Harbor. Vino pro John Slover (Cru) has curated a 200-bottle wine program, which is split into a diverse "market list" of vintages from South Africa to Spain (also available as half-bottles), as well as a "reserve list" of more mature wines from France, Germany, the U.S. and Italy (including a 1969 Barbaresco). As befits a New York bistro, the influences skew global: caviar-accented blinis, short rib corn tacos, boquerones (marinated anchovies) for starters; LaFreida strip steak and Niman Ranch pork chop for mains.
