Le Dive
For lunch, dinner, or a nightcap downtown, you can mingle with the artsy, stylish scenesters who've turned Le Dive, Jon Neidich's newish Lower East Side wine bar and eatery, into their go-to haunt. With its bistro seating, retro interiors, and wide open doors, stepping into this spot feels like stepping into a timeworn tabac straight off the streets of Paris.
