The little wine shop on Lark
Everyone's excited about the wine store opening--even big giant hands.
It's coming--really it is. The wine shop on Lark Street just got the thumbs up from the liquor board. Empire wines, a popular neighborhood shop, outgrew the space at the corner of State and Lark about a year ago. New York State liquor laws prevented them from owning two stores, so they were forced to shut down the Lark Street location. New owner Mark Brogna has been waiting for approval since January. He's been keeping the neighborhood updated on the progress with signs in the window. Today we noticed that the crossed fingers switched to thumbs up. Hang on to your corkscrews, Mark says there will be wine before the summer is out. (Thanks Colleen!)

What's for dinner? Walk to Rolf's (70 Lexington) at lunchtime the main course - chicken? beef? hot dogs that snap? Stop at Crisan on the way home for crusty bread (coming soon?) or dessert, and (AT LAST) Capital Wine for a bottle ... Life is GOOD!
