Bar Veloce
European · Fusion · New York, NY
About
Owner Derek Sandler drew inspiration from a motorcycle tour of Europe when he opened Bar Veloce in 2000. This East Village spot fuses an Italian paninoteca (panini bar) with a modern wine bar, aiming to deliver Italian wine and food at reasonable prices. It's a mixed gay-straight crowd, mostly after-work, with a casual vibe. The place is small, so expect to stand or sit at counters.
Full bar includes Italian wines, cheeses, cured meats, and panini. Best for a quick bite or drink before dinner elsewhere. You'll find a mix of regulars and first-timers. Late night hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
