Editorial Review for Turks & Frogs – by Erin Behan
The Scene
This cozy Turkish antique shop turned wine bar sits off a quiet side street in the West Village. Though its red and green interior isn't polished to perfection, its charm makes up for any oddities (such as the indoor faux wall with windows). An added twist: Most of the urns and antiques on display are for sale--just ask.
The Draw
Couples and small groups of friends begin filling the tables as night falls, but the most interesting seat is at the bar, where patrons can sample any of the seven Turkish wines (or 60 more traditional reds and whites), and get impromptu lessons about Turkish culture, wine and food. And the options aren't limited to wine. For an authentic Turkish treat, experiment with the lebni--a thick, almost cheese-like yogurt dip. Those with less adventurous palates, might opt for the stuffed grape leaves, which satisfy as both savory and sweet.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkFor a red that bursts with berry flavor, try Chateau Potelle's zinfandel. White drinkers looking for a new Turkish favorite should try the light, fragarent Cankaya from Kavaklidere. The bar also sells the most popular beer in Turkey, Efes.

I went here on a first date recently and had a great time. The ambiance was intimate and good for conversation. We drank some wine and time flew by. The staff was friendly and available when needed. Highly recommended.
Pros: Ambiance, Service

Pros: Nice venue, good wine, very cosy, looks like a great date place Cons: Rude service, slow service Event: I was part of a group that did drinks at Turks & Frogs several nights ago. The first group (3) had a few drinks and the second (3) joined us later. We both had seperate checks. We drank at the bar. The bartender got into an argument with the other group when they tried to pay their check because he insisted on a bigger tip. Now if I don't call that rude/bad service I don't know what is. Also, very very very slow service in ordering food.
