Go to this Euro-style wine bar when you're feeling gregarious; the rather stark space has seating for only 48 people, and it's all at communal tables. The results are loud and lively, though happily the shareable fare—a mix of small and large Mediterranean dishes from a wood-burning oven—is reasonably priced. It's as popular as its next-door neighbor Blackbird (and run by the same forces), and only early birds are guaranteed tables. The doors open at—yikes!—3:30 PM.
