Description
There’s nothing bourgeois about the industrial metal steps down to this East Village wine-and-fondue spot. But inside, ornate mirrors and antique chairs give the tiny red-lit space a decidedly decadent feel. Trendy locals snack on tasty bruschette or bubbling cheese fondue—the raclette is extremely good—served with heaps of assorted breads, crudités and fresh fruit for dipping. The brief wine list is well chosen and prices are halved during the daily happy hour (3–7pm) and all night on Mondays and Tuesdays. At those prices, it’s easy to make a pig of yourself.
