I had the tepache, which wasn't as sweet as I was expecting, but wasn't bad. We also ordered the baked burrata to share, which came with a huge slice of focaccia and basil-walnut pesto. The bread itself was delicious! I thought this was a really cute wine bar and it looks like they have a few happy hour deals from 5-7pm. I would definitely come back!

The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

Lyupa was our server and she was absolutely incredible. She was the only person there serving and bartending our group of 8 people alongside at least four other groups. She was so attentive, positive, efficient and knowledgeable about each item on the menu. When we told her that we got engaged that day, she lit two candles on gelato for us in celebration -- it was hilarious hearing my family sing happy engagement and absolutely made my night. The atmosphere was cozy and sweet. The wine selection was great and the food was delicious, especially the chocolate cake -- not too sweet! Overall, I recommend! Thank you again for being our server, Lyupa!

All of the food pairings were spot-on to balance and bring out the properties of the wines (one sparkling, one skin contact, and one red). Each course included a different type of cheese, one new to me--Buttermilk Basque--which I hope to find in a market. The skin-contact wine, Sanctum, Leptir Padrauje Slavenia 2021, may be the first orange wine I have actually enjoyed, and the Portuguese red wine was a revelation, tasting of red fruit and wild flowers. Service was friendly and personalized. I will definitely be back. Tasting Menu: Pere Mata, Brut Reserva Spain NV | Spicy Green Gazpacho, Toasted Almonds, Burrata Espuma.

Journaling. Nearly passing out in the Equinox sauna. But my normal stress relief exercises were proving futile. A quick hit of dopamine just brought me right back into the shadow realm of my internal criticism. I decided to just aimlessly go for a walk, and ended up here, at a Horse with No Name. I don't think I've ever sat at a bar alone just for the love of the game, but something was just pulling me in here. I'm aware drinking is probably the worst thing I could do in this fragile state, but I try to be so perfect and optimal all the time that I think it's slowly wearing me down. What's that Abe Lincoln bar? "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." I ordered a glass of chilled red wine ($14), and just sat there. Not looking at my phone, just starring at the wall. I'm so addicted to this damn phone that sometimes it's nice to just be bored and look at a wall. As I ordered a second glass of vice, a quote from the TV show Arcane flashed through my head. "There is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit." That ish hit my like a freight train. So real. It's like when an MMA fighter finally wins the belt, achieves their lifelong dream, and are left with the feeling of "now what?" Why do I spend so much time chasing perfection, and beat myself up when it's not achieved? I need to enjoy this journey more, because when I look back, it has been a beautiful ride. As corny as it is, the journey is everything. As I sat down to write this review no one will ever read, I was curious as to how this place got it's name. Turns out it's named after a song from 1971, where the nameless horse represents leaving behind societal pressures and find inner calm. Makes sense as to why I was called here, as inner peace is what I'm really craving. Sometimes god just throws you a life raft. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

We were confused and we were like uh, we were thinking of sitting at the bar? And she was like oh okay. She served us at the bar, complained that she was fully sat and so couldn't look up what wines were by the glass, provided two red wines to taste with tastes SO microscopic it was like a comedy sketch, couldnt tell us what grapes they were, complained again about how busy she was. The wines tasted deeply musty and not to my taste. She then put on a trance record which was the same tone over and over again. The server got us wondering if she ever worked a day in her life. Because coming from the service industry, and having been overwhelmed and in the weeds, this was a joke. Even if she did feel that way, to not even look up a grape at a wine bar... Bizarre and crappy customer service.
