- NYC BYOBs
Thread starter for New York City BYOB restaurants.
Cube 63, 63 Clinton St, LES - tiny Japanese place. Excellent
Tartine, 253 W 11th St, W. Village - tiny French bistro, no reservations and often a wait, but equally excellent.
Please add yours below.

Nook, 746 9th Ave (50th St) - A hidden treasure in Hell's Kitchen. A German chef, but the food's a flavorful fusion of everywhere.

@HondaJohn: out here on the east coast, "byo" means "we didn't want to deal with getting a liquor license". But generally people don't bring their own wine to establishments that stock it, and doing so would probably be frowned upon (because you're cutting into their significant profit).

@HondaJohn: oh wait, I just clicked your profile link. You're in the Bay Area. The reason all the restaurants around you are BYO is that getting any sort of liquor license in the bay area, especially in SF-proper, is a NIGHTMARE if you want to do anything else. Do you want to play music? That's a separate license. Do you want to let people dance? That's a separate license (no, really). Do you want to have live music? Yet another. Would you like to have live music, still serve alcohol some of the time, but let people between the ages of 18 and 21 come in to see that live music? You basically can't do that.
