Best Asian restaurants in NYC with a natural wine centric list.

I want to eat noodles and drink natural wine. The only place I’ve been recently that fits the bill was Win Som. Tried a bunch of dishes and most were meh.

Any recent experiences at Empellon Al Pastor? It’s been years since I’ve been.

Is it more a bar that serves food or a good place for tacos that happens to be a bar?

Carnitas Ramirez, Taqueria Ramirez, Los Tacos no1 are current favs but I’m looking for a place that has alcohol too.

Looking for a Lupa replacement-- something in the city open until midnight on a Saturday. Sit-down but not fancy. And not a French bistro.

Lupa was my go-to when I got into the city on the later side. Any recs for restaurants open late on a Saturday. Not looking to grab a slice or Katz's. Would like to sit down, relax and have dinner after a day of traveling.

This misses the mark on so many levels. Very few restaurant owners are going to invest this money back into the business and their employees. Furthermore, while revenue might have increased (higher sales), overall profit and viability have significantly decreased due to the cost of goods. If a restaurant has increased their prices to try keep up with inflation, it's going to show higher revenue even though the increase in the costs of goods (and TARIFFS) has greatly outpaced the increase in menu prices.

I took a Claritin first thing this morning and nothing has changed. Is it normal for symptoms to show up the day AFTER missing a pill or am I coming down with a cold/flu?

Who makes them? What makes them stand out from all the others?

ETA: Thanks for the recs so far! I should add that, right or wrong, a breakfast tacos should include eggs.

  1. Natural wine bars with GREAT food. Something besides the wine bars associated with Frenchie, Septime, Paul Bert. La Buvette, L'avant Comtoir, Willie are also great. Looking for different places.

  2. Best restaurants in Paris that aren't French. Oobatz and Kubri are great! Where else?

We’ve been to the wine bars associated with Frenchie, Septime and Paul Bert plus L'Avant Comptoir, La Buvette and Willie’s. Besides Foderol, is there anywhere new in Paris worth checking out? And any French Riviera recs would also be greatly appreciated.
