The Monday Room (CLOSED)

The AvroKO-designed restaurant Public also boasts this teeny-weeny wine-bar sidekick. The upscale den features tufted black banquettes and exposed brick. Sip from 60 vinos in various sizes, such as a 2005 Soave Classico in a half glass, glass, half bottle or bottle. Wine flights ($19–$40 for four three-ounce tastes) are a fine way to sample your way through the list; there’s no standing room here and it gets packed, so reserve ahead.
