Check out Bottlerocket Wine Shop at 5th & 19th or http://bottlerocketwine.com/. Why are they so special? According to them it's because "we organize our selection of 365 wines by theme, helping you find wines according to what you want to do with them. Ordering take-out tonight? Make a bee-line to the oversized Chinese food container, perched on top of a display, and check out the tightly edited selection of wines. All were chosen for their compatibility with local take-out menus (menus can also be picked up here)."
Further uptown we stumbled on this amazing Anish Kapoor installation in its final days at Rockefeller Center with 5th Ave and Saks in the background. Click on the image to find Mom and me in the reflection, and on the link to see what the Sky Mirror itself looks like. http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/sep2006/id20060915_960619.htm?chan=innovation_architecture_dialogues Only in New York!Is it really possible that there were only 3 cars and a rickshaw in the middle of 5th Ave? Where is all the traffic? Maybe they've all gone to Bottlerockets.
