Every year, on the 4th Friday of October it honors “Her Majesty Champagne”. It’s Chamapagne Day, a good opportunity to take stock of five must-see places in New York to empty one (or two) cups (or flutes, there are two schools).
Flute Bar
Going down a small flight of stairs accessible from the sidewalk, away from the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan, Flute Midtown is in a space that was once a speakeasy … For your clandestine dating, so ☺️

📍205 West 54th St., New York 10019
🎁 Aperitif on Thursdays from 16:00 to 20:00: 2 x 1 purchased
The champagne bar
The Champagne barwhich was originally called The Portico of Champagne, which opened at the same time as the Plaza Hotel in 1907. The venue was renovated in 2014 and is adjacent to the Plaza lobby and Fifth Avenue foyer. Invite your passing parents – or your sister who lives in the Ardèche – to impress them a little.

📍768 5th Ave, New York, NY 10019
🎁 You can drink your first cup from 6.30am (because it is important).
Champagne Air
They aren’t very talkative on their website and maybe that’s because they don’t want everyone to know how cool the bar is. So please keep this address secret, just between you and me.

📍127 Macdougal Street, Greenwich Village 10012
🎁 Their Instagram is downright envious
Amélie, the wine shop
Do you miss France? Its terraces and its armchairs? (But without the rude servers). Café Amélie can keep you waiting until you return home.

📍566 Amsterdam Avenue New York, NY 10024 (but there are other locations, including one in San Francisco)
🎁 Happy Hour: Monday to Friday from 4pm to 6pm
The edge
You know The Edge, right? This tall building (in New York? How original …) with a triangle shaped terrace overlooking the void. Well, once you get to the hundredth floor, you can drink your cup while watching the sunset (and possibly make a marriage proposal, it turns out).
