ONE19 Wine Bar

If you feel the need to impress someone without too much of a fuss, ONE19 Wine Bar is your answer. The relaxed destination, from the team behind Char Sue, may be located behind a "deli" on Essex Street, but it's purposely trying to shrug off the to-do of the whole "speakeasy" thing. Its motto? "Less speakeasy, more drinkeasy." Serving up a range of wines (labeled by type, terroir, and organic status), ONE19 is a wine lover's wine bar without being snooty about it.
