Le Dive
With its bistro seating, retro interiors, and eclectic accents, stepping into this French flavored wine bar-slash-cafe feels like stepping into a timeworn tabac straight off the streets of Paris. Inspired by the laid-back watering holes beloved by bohemians in the 10th and 11th arrondissements, this chic destination (from none other than Jon Neidich) serves up a wide selection of natural wines and French libations, as well as indulgent delicacies like steak tartare, tuna niçoise, charcuterie, and a rather Instagrammable serving of marinated tinned sardines.
