Lafayette
This all-hours French restaurant has become popular with neighborhood locals and newcomers alike since arriving on the NYC restaurant scene this spring. In addition to regional French wines, you and your crew can imbibe in "Classiques" like an Absinthe Frappe or a Sazerac, or opt for less traditional options like the Ouest Daisy (tequila, cucumber, and lime). The ample space and handsome decor make Lafayette a great choice for group cocktails or an authentic Parisian dinner.
