    Wine Bar

    On a narrow Chinatown street, Annie Shi has packed a wine bar so thoroughly that bottles climb the walls and diners spill into the alley. The kitchen, squeezed into every remaining crevice, sends out precise modern Chinese cooking—chilled celtuce with shallots, scallops with lily buds, hand-rolled noodles with braised lamb—that matches the ambition of a wine list that refuses to play it safe.
