Restaurant & Bar Radar: From Bar Henry to Northern Spy

<p>Sometimes there's nothing more comforting in the winter than heading into the dark indoors and warming yourself up with some good wine. <strong>Bar Henry</strong> definitely evokes the feeling of a dark wine cellar, with brick walls and dark wood ceilings creating a cozy atmosphere. The bar embraces a "ready to drink" policy with their wines, choosing them at the peak of their flavor, including some reserves at under $100 a bottle. They're offering a few specials to encourage the accessibility of wine, including a special of buying half of any of the 100 bottles on the market list for half the price of the bottle. The remaining half of the bottle will be available to all customers by the glass. </p><p></p>Bar Henry also offers some cool cocktails, such as the Captain Berelsky's Skull and Bones, a mix of lavored rum and secret ingredients (Berelsky being a Caribbean pirate and a direct ancestor of Winston Kulok, owner of Bar Henry.) Food is standard bistro fare, with dry aged steak and roast chicken, and rest assured there will be wines to match.<em>90 W Houston St, (646) 448-4559</em>
