Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. Outdoor tables are available in the summer months. We are located steps away from Bloomies and Barnes & Noble.

The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

Wren, a vibrant cocktail bar & restaurant, is a fun place due to its unique menu items, lively atmosphere, and great service. As one reviewer put it, 'Surprising and unique, Wren combines gastropub style Japanese food with an elegant open floor hotel lobby setting and somehow it works really well.' The food is delicious, the drinks are beautifully prepared, and the ambiance is inviting. It's also a great place for groups and solo dates, making it a versatile and fun spot.
