The Ten Bells






Last Saturday night MR and I went to a great new bar on Broome Street called the Ten Bells. It has a really nice, low key atmosphere. Super friendly, knowledgeable staff that steered us towards a great Morrocan red, Syrocco.

"Ten Bells, a nautical term, happens to be the name of the pub in London where Jack the Ripper met his victims. It’s a morbid moniker for an all-natural, organic wine bar, but that’s exactly what Yassine Bentaleb and Fabrice Vautrin named their Lower East Side venture. In addition to wines procured by partner Philippe Essonne from small producers in Europe, Oregon, and Morocco, the 30-seat spot serves cheese from Essex Market, cold cuts such as wild-boar sausage and venison carpaccio, and small dishes such as duck-breast tartare with hazelnuts. — Daniel Maurer"
