V Bar
Cafe by day and wine bar slash beer garden by night, this airy gem is situated on a busy corner on St. Marks place over in the East Village. Floor to ceiling windows flood the cafe with natural light during the day, while candlelight and pots of flowers turn it into a romantic haven by night. The chalkboards display a rotating selection of over 25 wines available by the glass, and during happy hour on weekdays from 4-7pm, everything is half off.
