Four Horsemen

When you eat at The Four Horsemen, you're likely to decide that wine should be your new extracurricular activity. You'll want to become the type of person who understands a little about it, not just drinks it (though you'll largely want to drink it).

Stop by The Four Horsemen for an informal education if wine school doesn't sound appealing. Consider this modest Brooklyn eatery to be an eating and drinking classroom filled with people who appear to be in bands you've never heard of but should. This place is half-owned by James Murphy—yes, that James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem—by chance (or not). There are definitely visitors that come here solely to look for him, but the crowd generally feels like regulars who come here to eat or drink.

The Four Horsemen specializes in natural wine, so expect something a little different than your typical $12 bottle of Pinot Noir. The staff will gladly walk you through the wine selection and help you choose something you'll enjoy, no matter how packed the venue is or how many band members are at the other five tables surrounding you. You'll want to stay for a while so you can try out fresh ideas. It's all for the sake of learning, you know.
