Soon the crypt at St Mary-le-Bow will also be one of them as Humble Grape is opening a bar there this November. The church, home to the Bow Bells, was founded around 1080 (having been rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London) and you can see some of that rich history in the crypt, which has original Norman arches and a groined vault.

The reigning alpha of these dog days is Lei, from King partner Annie Shi, on the curving, pedestrian-only slip of Doyers Street in Chinatown.

Hudson Valley, N.Y. is becoming notable for its growing wine scene, while Detroit has established a strong community of wine bars like Ladder 4 and Bar Chenin.
