Top Spots | Wine and Dine
January can be the cruelest month of the year with its post-holiday blues and rapidly dropping temperatures. To avoid being chilled to the bone, descend into the warmth and charm of a wine cellar for your next gathering. These private rooms range from infamous to elegant and each promise to create a unique dining experience – one that will transport you to another time and place.
21 Club (21 West 52nd Street, 212 582 1400)
One of New York’s most legendary speakeasys, the 21 Club has housed an elaborately disguised vault since the 1930′s. The secret wine cellar has become a coveted destination for personal events for up to 22 guests including 21st birthday parties, bachelor parties and rehearsal dinners. Guests are treated to excellent American cuisine and an award winning wine list while soaking in the rich history of the notorious Prohibition-era room.
Adour (2 East 55th Street, 212 710 2277)
True gourmands and wine enthusiasts are well versed in the cuisine of Alain Ducasse. His restaurant Adour reflects a collaboration between Executive Chef Joel Dennis and Wine Director Thomas Combescot to offer a modern French menu with wine pairings that complement and balance one another. David Rockwell designed the magnificent interiors including a private dining room with 50 individual wine vaults to house the personal collections of both celebrities and oenophiles.
Gusto Ristorante e Bar Americano (60 Greenwich Avenue, 212 924 8000)
Serving regional Italian cuisine with savory pastas that are expertly fatti in casa (homemade), Gusto is more than a neighborhood favorite. Their wine cellar is a cozy nook on the lower floor of their West Village restaurant which can accommodate up to 12 for private dining.
