Editorial Review

There's just something about Avec. And it doesn't matter if you go on a Friday at 9pm or Tuesday at 6:45, this communal winebar/eatery is always busy. And no wonder. Co-owned by restaurant dynamo Donnie Madia (who's also behind next-door Blackbird as well as Sonotheque and Violet Hour), Avec is his casual answer to Blackbird. Stylish foodies settle in for salumi, fish specialties and exotic cheese plates paired with carefully picked out vino.
