There’s a lot of misinformation when it comes to restaurant wine lists and how they’re priced. The lack of transparency around value and markups has perpetuated myths like “you should always order the second-cheapest bottle on the menu,” or “the bottle price in a restaurant is always three times higher than its retail value.” One of the most common rumors is that the listed by-the-glass price is actually what the restaurant paid for the full bottle of wine.

Last year we visited the Basque region of Spain, and were introduced to this traditional drink, which is served everywhere. The Kalimotxo, pronounced ‘Cali-mot-cho’, is traditionally served over ice with a slice of lemon. We love a bit of drink history and the story goes like this. Sometimes referred to as ‘Cuba Libre Del Pobre’ or poor man’s Cuba Libre, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Cubans came up with it.

Last November, I went to the friends and family soft-opening of a sleek ’70/’80s-inspired bar on the Lower East Side. I was led to a low-slung, padded, backless stool wedged next to a sofa. I asked if I could instead post up at the bar but the bespoke bar seats, all sleek chrome and rich chocolate leather, proved challenging to casually mount, and I was unable to sit back due to the narrow curved sides of the padded, slim-fit seat.
