Editor's Tips

Outdoor Seating:

Food Served:
Nosh on goat-cheese-topped bruschetta, paninis with prosciutto and pecorino or an Oreo tartufo, in which the cookie is encased in gelato, then rolled in crushed Oreos.

Throw your next private party here

by kgordo at Citysearch

What a great party thrown by the BWC. The layout is perfect for every crowd - high tables, low tables and lots of standing/dancing room. The atmosphere is hip, yet classy.

Everything from service, to food to fun in unbeatable.
