Parking
-
Parking on Lexington Ave. is free after 6 pm & there’s a small “honor” lot next to Downtown Books across the street from us. The public Rankin Garage is one block to the west. The first hour is free. After the first hour, the rate is $0.75 per hour. You will be charged $0.75 for each fraction of an hour. So if your ticket to enter reads 6:30 pm, and you exit at 8:31 pm, you would get the first hour (to 7:30) free, then you would be charged $0.75 for the hour from 7:30 to 8:30, and another $0.75 for the one minute into the next hour, so it would cost $1.50. The automated booths are set up to take Visa & MasterCard.

What with our inability to control weather, the global economy, import operations & our suppliers, our wine list is subject to rapid, unplanned revisions. Changes in the list—varietal, winery, price and/or vintage—may occur in the actual list at Bouchon before we update them here.
