Pan Pan Vino Vino

If you’ve ever wanted to drink a rosé described as “You’re on a veranda with your Italian lover and a 10pm dinner reservation,” check out Pan Pan Vino Vino. You won’t know the grape or any details about the bottle, because they aren’t on the menu. But the wine will indeed be “light and salty,” and highly enjoyable in this split-personality Greenpoint spot.

During the day, it’s a bakery, and a nice spot for a cortado and a sticky guava and cream cheese bun, surrounded by paintings of volcanoes. At night, it's a wine bar, with $5 cicchetti: creative little bites—like country ham and habanada jelly, or mussels with preserved lemon aioli—atop house-baked baguettes. Eat some grilled shrimp with garlic butter and drink a chilled red or a “red red” while someone next to you talks about navigating their status as a third in an open relationship. This is a good spot for a low-key date night, or a catch-up, but make other plans for dinner, because they take the word “small” in small plates very seriously.
