The Four Horsemen

In a city rife with excellent wine lists, oenophiles flock to The Four Horsemen for rare and unsung bottles of natural wine unfound elsewhere in NYC. This stylish, diminutive wine bar channels a European feel and is perpetually packed with the cool kids not only for its booze (the place also stocked a concise collection of craft spirits), but for the clean, acid and umami-forward plates designed by chef Nick Curtola. Fun fact: James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem is a co-owner.

In a city rife with excellent wine lists, oenophiles flock to The Four Horsemen for rare and unsung bottles of natural wine unfound elsewhere in NYC. This stylish, diminutive wine bar channels a European feel and is perpetually packed with the cool kids not only for its booze (the place also stocked a concise collection of craft spirits), but for the clean, acid and umami-forward places designed by chef Nick Curtola. Fun fact: James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem is a co-owner.

The natural wine bar and restaurant may be best known for being co-owned by LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, but it really stands out for its time-and-tested dedication to amplifying (no pun intended) smaller wine producers. Wine director and partner Justin Chearno heads up the wine list, which spotlights vintners like Burgundy’s organic winemaker Fanny Sabre (taught by natural wine pioneer Philippe Pacalet); fourth-generation Austrian winemaker Christian Tschida who produces only sulfur-free wines; and Frenchman Laurent Saillard, a chef and restaurateur in NY who returned to France and refurbished an old winery to produce organic wines. Canopy-covered outdoor dining features fare from longtime chef Nick Curtola.
