An oasis of cultured calm in Hell’s Kitchen, with an impressive, ever-expanding wine list, Ardesia is a casual food and wine bar. With something for every palate (and pocketbook), many wines are also available by the glass, ranging from familiar favorites to undiscovered gems, alongside an eclectic mix of bar food. Every Saturday afternoon from 2 pm to 5 pm, the sommelier pops open five specially selected bottles of wine for an afternoon of “sipping and mingling.”
