Wine Bar at Pizza 33, Murray Hill

Saturday, 9:30pm

Pizza 33
489 Third Ave. (33rd St.), Manhattan

Pizza 33 is a mini chain with better than average 'za. It is Not a Wine Bar. We're intrigued by the sign, which is only on the side awning, above the service entry, but not on the front awning. Why? Because they thought they'd have a bar when they opened, years ago, but it never came to be.

So, stop in for a sobering slice (the bright lights help in that arena too) but not for a glass of vino. Your dining companions will be whatever age the time warrants.
