West Village · $$$ · Wine bar
This is the kind of wine bar that makes you feel like a regular the moment you walk in—dim, intimate, and stocked with thoughtfully curated bottles. The natural wine program is serious without being pretentious, and the small plates are designed to linger over. Perfect for easing into the evening with someone special.
~8 min walk (0.4 mi). From The Lavaux, head southeast down Hudson Street toward Christopher—you'll pass some of the most charming historic brownstones in the neighborhood; it's a lovely walk that sets the mood for dinner.

End the night at this beloved bakery where the pastries are as pretty as they are delicious—their house-made cakes and petit fours are the stuff of date-night dreams. Grab something sweet to share, maybe with a coffee, and walk off the meal through the charming West Village streets.
