NYC Restaurants

A rustic new wine bar is calling Bedford Stuyvesant home. Speakvino is showcasing sustainable wines from around the world with selections of reds, whites and sparkling. They range from Italian and French imports to wines made in Lebanon's Bekka Valley. Most bottles are affordably priced in the $40 to $50 range with some going just above $100. A menu of small bites leans Mediterranean. Look for things like charred baby artichokes, mixed Italian mushrooms and octopus with giant beans, peperoncino and celery leaves.
