Columns

On our lists of the best wine bars and cozy restaurants in New York.

A marble bar and an actual column give this Mediterranean wine bar near Columbia its name, set inside the old Calle Ocho space on Broadway. The wine list runs through Spain, Greece, and Italy, with a few bottles from New York and New Jersey mixed in, and cocktails like the Olive Leaf pair gin with olive leaf liqueur and mastiha. Shared plates such as patatas bravas and a mix-and-match bruschetta board carry dinner, and weekend mornings shift toward shakshuka and latkes instead. The windows along the front wall open onto the block once the weather turns warm.
