Weehawken

Molos is the rare waterfront restaurant where the wine list earns genuine respect — not just for checking boxes, but for building a real Greek wine identity that most NYC-adjacent spots never bother with. The markup runs steep in places and there's no dedicated sommelier, but if you're here for grilled fish and a glass of Santorini white with that skyline in the background, it absolutely delivers.

Drift is a reliable California wine list bolted onto a genuinely great view — it'll satisfy most tables without challenging anyone. Send a friend if they want a safe, well-executed bottle with their steak and a killer skyline; just don't send them expecting to discover something new.

Blu on the Hudson is a genuine destination wine program — not just for the Jersey side of the river, but full stop. The pricing skews steep in places and the list plays to classic tastes rather than taking risks, but with sommelier Enrique Pinedo on the floor and a cellar that earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, you're in good hands.
