CARTA Wine Bar New York

On Bedford Street in the West Village, a wine list built around small producers changes with the seasons, sold by the glass or bottle alongside cheese, charcuterie, and conservas. The kitchen keeps things Mediterranean: spanakopita, pan con tomate, and croquettes sit next to a burrata and a caviar service. Walk-ins can grab a seat when one opens, though evenings are worth booking ahead through Resy. A monthly wine class and a brunch menu round out the calendar.
