Per Se recently announced that it would start allowing diners to bring their own bottles of wine to the 3 Michelin-star restaurant — for a whopping $150 corkage fee.
This move got people talking, but Per Se is certainly not the first restaurant to allow diners to bring their own bottles. Dozens of other NYC restaurants feature BYOB policies — and it's not just the cheap hole-in-the wall joints that you'd expect.
Here are 13 great NYC restaurants that offer BYOB policies. We've noted the corking fee for the restaurants that have one.
Agora
This Upper East Side Turkish restaurant is a local favorite for its delicious kebabs, wide assortment of hot and cold appetizers, and its BYOB policy. It's tiny, but gets packed.
Di Fara
NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio claims that Di Fara serves the best pizza in NYC, and New Yorkers love it so much that they regularly wait in line for two hours just to taste the chewy, delicious pizza.
Eleven Madison Park
The 3-Michelin starred restaurant boasts an incredible wine list to go with its extravagant $225 tasting menu. But just in case they don't have the wine you want, you can pay a corking fee of $65 per bottle, up to four bottles.
