Get the inside scoop on everything Hoboken and Jersey City before everyone else. No thanks, I've already signed up! In food holiday land, there are some holidays we take TOTALLY seriously {ah-hem, World Nutella Day} and some we don’t. But, when a girl hears that it’s National Drink Wine Day OR National Wine Day…now those are holidays we can get behind {and if you think you’d rather be at the gym…think again}. But, where to go? We’ve compiled a list of a few of our favorite spots for imbibing a glass of delicious wine *and* some yummy food, too. Here are the top wine bars in Hoboken and Jersey City: Hoboken’s newest wine bar, located in the old location of Helmer’s, Sorellina is a great spot for some delicious stomped grapes. Chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and buttoned leather couches and high top tables contribute to the warm and fun ambiance, and the location is reasonably spacious {albeit super busy on a Saturday night — so make a rezzie!}.  

There’s an extensive cheese and wine menu {of exclusively Italian wines}, but we noticed there is no pizza served which was a bit surprising for an Italian-inspired restaurant {looks like a post-dinner Benny’s trip may be in the cards…just sayin’}. Regardless, the food is delicious: plates of bolognese pasta and pesto gnocchi make this spot a perfect combination of comfort food meets upscale wine bar. For those wanting something savory followed by sweet, there is also a selection of desserts. If you have friends or dinner dates that are less wine-inclined, they also offer a variety of martinis for the advanced palate — including a fig martini and other fancy concoctions. One of Chef Pino’s genius Hoboken creations and the OG of wine bars in town, Bin 14 is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser with its cozy ambiance and high-quality cuisine. The wine bar offers a contemporary blend of upscale Italian tapas in an industrial-chic space — with exposed brick walls, tin molded ceilings, and a marble top bar.

For those who don’t do gluten, there are delicious substitutions for most of their carbs {including bruschetta and pizza!}, and a selection of great wines from all parts of the world. We also recently discovered Bin 14’s newly improved brunch, which is pretty noteworthy {and yes, there’s a Bloody Mary bar…}! Third and Vine {Jersey City} A cozy wine bar located in Jersey City {at 353 3rd Street}, this husband- and wife-owned locale has quickly become a popular spot off-the-beaten path. Hidden on a side street in the Village area of JC, Third and Vine is known for its ricotta meatballs, pork belly, cheese selection {of over 30+ cheese}, hot cheese sandwiches, and of course — wine. The drink list is curated from an eclectic selection of international and domestic wines and spirits, and it changes on a regular basis. Did we mention they serve a lot cheese? Satis Bistro {Jersey City} Previously known to HG for their scrumptious ravioli in a mouth-watering vodka sauce, this European-inspired Jersey City staple {located at 212 Washington Street} also serves as a wine bar, which it founded in 2012 after acquiring a liquor license. 

In addition to a full bar and signature cocktail list that changes with the seasons, Satis offers over 30 bottled beers and over 45 wines by the glass — ranging from $8 – $25 per glass — and of course, the full enchilada: bottles of wine! best red wine to mix with cokeThe ambiance at this Jersey City restaurant is rustic with a dimly lit aura, making it the perfect spot for a dinner with family and friends or a date night. best japanese white winePlus, the food is fan-f&$#king-tastic, if we do say so ourselves.best dry red wine in the world In the former spot of Three As, Grand Vin is a wine bar that recently opened — much to West Hoboken’s excitement. wine on tap cleaning

She started the site 5 years ago to discover the wealth of fun things happening in Hoboken and Jersey City and surrounding Hudson County areas. When not planning the next Hoboken Girl event or #HobokenGirlHelps volunteer project, she can usually be found watching some really bad {but oh-so-good} reality TV and ordering takeout with her husband and French bulldog, Pierre. Best bars: NYC's top cocktail den, speakeasy, newbie and more It was a great year for booze in New York City. 2016 saw the arrival of plenty of new bars, some of which quickly worked their way into the cream of New York City's cocktail crop. Whether you want to sip selections from a lovingly curated wine list, enjoy a perfectly mixed cocktail or just hang out in a beautiful space, we've got you covered. Here's a look at the best new bars to hit the nightlife scene in 2016.

Best new bar: BlackTail Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry already have a winner with The Dead Rabbit, which was named the best bar in the world this year by Drinks International. Their newest NYC bar lives up to their acclaim. The Cuba-during-U.S.-Prohibition theme actually works, with decor that transports you to Havana (the live Cuban music and bartenders' fedoras also help). After starting with a frozen daiquiri sampler, you have your pick of nearly 50 expertly-crafted cocktails. (22 Battery Place, 2nd floor of Pier A, 212-785-0153, Best cocktail menu: Suffolk Arms Co-owner Giuseppe Gonzalez's resume includes such influential bars as Flatiron Lounge, Pegu Club and Dutch Kills. Add Suffolk Arms to that list. A love letter of sorts to the modern cocktail scene, the thoughtful, personal drinks menu pays homage to top mixologists while mixing up creative originals. The pub is also a love letter to New York, with portraits of influential New Yorkers on the walls. Best wine bar: Ruffian

This is the definition of hidden gem. The narrow, friendly spot in the East Village has gained fans for its ambitious 100-bottle wine list that ranges from all over the world, though makers are primarily from France, specializing in natural wine. Don't pass on the food either, with small plates tailored to pair well with the available selection. (125 E. Seventh St., 212-777-0855, ) (Credit: Linda Rosier) Best rooftop bar: Westlight The rooftop bar can be a bit of a gamble, with overpriced, poorly made drinks, unwieldy crowds and subpar views at risk. But NoHo Hospitality's new bar manages to avoid the hazards with a beautifully designed space on the 22nd floor of the new William Vale hotel. Enjoy unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline while sipping on local beers or a negroni sbagliato or the cheekily named College Fund cocktail, and snack on the elevated bar bites from Andrew Carmellini. Best hidden bar: Karasu It's no secret that New York City is chock full of hidden bars -- bars beneath other bars, bars behind unmarked doors and bars within restaurants.

Among the latter, there's Karasu. Located at the back of Walter's, the Japanese-style speakeasy is worth seeking out for its drinks menu (courtesy of famed Major Food Group beverage director Thomas Waugh) and exciting eats by Yael Peet (Shuko). Best-looking bar: Le Boudoir This cocktail bar from the owners of Chez Moi also requires you to be a bit in-the-know -- you enter through a door in the French restaurant. Once you descend the steps, you're transported to a Marie Antoinette boudoir-inspired beaut of a bar, from the gilded mirrors to the red velvet banquettes to the white marble tables. The signature cocktails are appropriately just as ornate, served in silver coupes and Cristal D'Arques Longchamp glasses. Best budget-friendly bar: Yours Sincerely Shelling out $15 or $16 for a cocktail is pretty standard now. But that isn't the case at this laid-back Bushwick bar. The unpretentious "cocktail laboratory" serves all of its libations on tap, most for $8 (if not less).
