Profile

With a few Morningside Heights exceptions, the wine-and-panini-bar craze that’s overtaken New York has steered clear of the Upper West Side. Handsome, snug Bin 71 fills the void with an appealing small-plates menu that extends beyond pressed sandwiches and cured meats to pink-snapper sashimi, polenta baked with Vermont’s pungent Bayley Hazen blue, and a papa-bear-size bowl of cod-fish soup. Predictably packed at night, the spot’s a bit neglected and extremely inviting during the day, when it caters to solo lunchers watching tennis on the flat-screen and sipping generous pours by the capacious Ravenscroft glass. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

If you like a friendly environment, where folks are having a light meal, tasting and enjoying wines, and generally relaxing in a non-"scene" and classy, easy-going way... this is the place. Yes, it is a touch crowded, because it is small. But, it is great to linger inside the wide-open french doors, observing passers-by on the street while catching up with a friend. The wine list is excellent and well-priced. The food is just right and much better than would be expected from a small wine bar. I make a point to go back to this "find" whenever I am in the neighborhood. Just right.

Finally, a touch of class has arrived on the UWS. Bin 71 is a wonderful neighborhood wine bar! I think the prices are great considering the quality of food is excellent. I heard it's a father-son place too. The dad's the chef and his son had the concept and passion for the restaurant business. It shows. I suggest you go early - it fills up fast and so does your wine glass with a beautiful list and generous pour.
