Due to the demand, owner Frank Locker has expanded the hours and food items at the Vinus & Marc in New York’s Upper East Side. The 55-seat bar/lounge opened almost a year ago on 2nd Ave. in the Yorkville area of NYC. Since then it has become a popular spot for the late night crowd with the kitchen open to 11pm weekly and midnight on weekends. “Our house made craft cocktails combined with our late night kitchen have been popular and we are excited to expand the food items with brunch, lunch and dinner items," says Locker. "The kitchen will remain open so you can come in for a drink and a bite to eat at any time throughout the day and evening. We thought people would come for our house made cocktails which they love, but the food has been a much bigger draw than expected." Inspired by the prohibition Great Gatsby era, Vinus & Marc brings and old world charm and a little bit of downtown uptown with its hand-crafted cocktails inspired from the 1920s and '30s, a curated wine list by Locker and a menu sourced with local artisanal farm produce and seasonal ingredients.
