This place has a pretty great selection for it's location and being kind of small. You can find just about anything. They are always really helpful if you need help finding something or need a suggestion.
Apparently they deliver, but I've yet to try out the service as I live embarrassingly close.
My least favorite thing is that if more than six people are in the store, it can be a little bit cramped.
Also, if you need to find the fun flavored vodkas, they are on the left when you walk in.
The boxed wine selection is not great (one, maybe two varieties per red/white). And don't be tempted into buying the alcoholic whipped cream. Go for whipped cream vodka instead.
Large selection, decent prices. Was able to find champagne bottles for $6 each. Perfect for stocking up for a BYOB NYE party. Lots of wines of course, and liquors to choose from.
What a great store. Walked in and like usual I always need suggestions and they read my mind. Someone came right over and asked me how they could help. I asked for a Pinot Grigio that I was familiar with and they suggested another which was less money and was an excellent choice. Smooth tasting with no after bite. Then they asked if I was drinking it now and when I said yes, they went and got me culled bottles. Excellent customer service! Perfect location near to port authority, Times Square and Theater district.
This little David of a store packs like a Goliath. Wall-to-wall wine and liquor ensure you will never go home empty-handed–and you will impress your friends with amazing new alcohol. I was on a wine mission and delighted to find that I could get everything on my list:
1) Portuguese Vinho Verde 2) South African Pinotage 3) Italian Lambrusco
I'm difficult, so these three rather uncommon varietals are my current (perpetual?) obsession. It's not unusual for me to go into a wine boutique and be told they don't carry even one decent bottle of any type. The fact that I could tick all three off at Manhattan Plaza Winery is a testament to their selection. Also, they have awesome, friendly staff, who somehow find a way to help you without making you feel like they've broken the fourth wall (there's a further "wallflower" pun in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to come up with it).
I looked this place up on yelp, knowing i had to find a bottle of whiskey for a friend's birthday and didn't want to pay crazy high manhattan prices for it.
When i walked in, the man behind the counter let me browse without bothering me. BUt after i stared at the bottles of whiskey with i apparently know nothing outside of single malt whiskies/scotches, so the guy kindly asked if i needed help. being a doll he walked over and asked key questions to help me make a decision and within a minute or two, i had the bottle and was paying. he chose copper head, a rye whiskey made in VA that looked like a lovingly crafted bottle.
i gave the bottle to my friend and he was pretty excited to try it (too bad we're at work).
We've waited at the bus stop in front of this store many times after seeing plays in that neighborhood, but last night it was freezing and another bus wasn't due for awhile. When we saw the sign for a wine tasting, we couldn't resist. Although the store is rather small, they have a good selection and the prices of wine we looked at were quite reasonable. The interior is very attractive and welcoming. Also, the man in charge of the wine tasting (owner-?) was very friendly and so was the nice guy at the cash register.
