Hands down the best saké selection in Midtown East. Prices are good. Staff are knowledgeable and open to giving recommendations. If memory serves, I believe they supply to nearby hotels when the UN is in session (hence the name), so the vast variety of liquors and wines makes sense.

Great store! Great staff! Needed to buy a gift and was kinda unsure what to get. After a few questions they had some suggestions any of which would have been perfect. Now that I'm back in the city a few days I'm glad I found this store and will be able to stop in.

Incredible wine store. Huge collection of very rare wines. I was able to find an obscure Georgian dry red that I have been searching for everywhere! The owner Leonard is so knowledgable and with a little coaxing he might even show you the AMAZING downstairs wine cellar where he often hosts tastings and classes. This is NEIGHBORHOOD HIDDEN GEM! Run don't walk!

Love this liquor store. They probably have the best sake and shochu selection in New York. Not too mention they have a dedicated temperature controlled room for sake. With that, you know they take the quality control seriously. Highly recommended!

Surprised about the good reviews. Anytime I have been in the store the customer service is horrible. Not friendly at all and on most occasions made me feel like I shouldn't be there. Spent a fair amount of money here as I live a block away, but now never go and will walk to other stores that have better pricing and better customer service.

One of NY's best wine stores for interesting, unique, small production, innovative wines from around the world at reasonable prices. If you like Chambers St but don't want to journey all the way down there, this is your place.

The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and if they don't know the answer they will point you to someone in the shop who does. Their sake selection is unrivaled as is most of the their selection on high end gins, Cognac, Bourbon, traditional Amaros and so much more. I've never been lead astray

An amazing liquor store for anyone searching for something new. Doug was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about every product in the store. I couldn't be happier with his recommendations!
