Vino 313
201 E. 31st St. (3rd Ave.), Manhattan
3-13 is Karina's birthday. We're planning something special, and we might invite you. Stay tuned. 31-3 is the location of a restaurant/wine bar that, as bartender Michela says, unprompted, is Age Appropriate until midnight (AABM). Michela also introduced us to the Moscow Mule (pictured: copper mug, ice, vodka, ginger beer) but Sara was still stuck on prosecco so unwisely opted for the mini bottle (also pictured), which was quickly replaced with a Presidente (what a DR beer is doing in a joint like this, we don't know, but it was far superior to the sparkling wine).
We met a boy here, a 32 who says Vino 313 is a great date place, great for dinner, and great for just hanging out at the bar. Then he ditched us to Not go on a date with a girl in Williamsburg. If he finds 30toMidnight's card in his pocket, we'll help him hype his charity event (benefit for NYC's working poor). Or we may just see him back at the bar, or at the bistro tables full of couples and girls whose age decreased as the night progressed.
mmm. moscow mule. yes.
