Pierre Loti Wine Bar:
At a time when most debuting wine bars are casting aside traditional elements for modern shtick, Pierre Loti continues to pay homage to its 19th-century inspiration with the opening of a third Manhattan location. Like its Chelsea and Gramercy predecessors, Midtown's incantation includes the elements any self-respecting wine bar requires: an open-air facade that emulates European cafes, small plates with enough spunk to satiate, and a wine magazine that rivals your late-night karaoke look-up. And while wine bars' intimate settings encourage interaction between patrons, Pierre Loti's cozy upstairs addition allows for intimacy on a smaller (and more romantic) scale. Up or down, the brand's exotic Turkish influence is evident not only in the menu selections but in the old-world hospitality—ask for a bubbly recommendation and you may just become family.
