Vutera

Down an uneven flight of stairs and past a bodega-type ATM is Vutera. Wandering into Vutera is like one of those great "Alice in Wonderland" falling- down-the-rabbit-hole moments. Suddenly, you're in this subterranean sanctuary with low-wood beam ceilings, vintage wine crates along one wall, stone along another. Colorful tulips, old-fashioned candlestick holders, granny plates, dish towel napkins and mismatched chairs and silverware at every table.
