Rebelle
This sleek spot on the Bowery is technically a restaurant, but the wine list makes it one of the best places in the city to drink. Just sidle up to the veined marble bar and consult with the talented young sommelier Kimberly Prokoshyn. She and bar director Patrick Cappiello curate a rotating list of 1,600 wines exclusively from France and the U.S. with an emphasis on varietals grown in both countries. They pair exceptionally well with Chef Daniel Eddy’s inventive small plates.
