New York City welcomes its first-ever Buchette del Vino — a historic Florentine wine window, reimagined for the heart of Times Square, this June. Buchette del Vino NYC is a new concept from partners Chef Jack Logue and Chris Miller, the duo behind the resurgence of The iconic Lambs Club at The Chatwal Hotel. It will serve Italian wines through a custom-designed street-facing window on Broadway between 43rd and 44th Streets.

Alongside the wine pours, guests can expect espresso, gelato, draft beer, salads, panini and tramezzini as well as a pasta of the month, made with high-quality Italian ingredients and care from a team with 40 combined years of Michelin star experience.

Architecturally inspired by the historic buchette and set in an Italian-style piazza on the pedestrian plaza of Times Square, Buchette del Vino NYC brings a centuries-old Italian tradition into the bustle of the theater district. What was once the domain of Florentine wine merchants — discreet windows carved into homes to serve wine during the 1600s — becomes a playful, street-level moment of hospitality in one of the world's busiest intersections. The concept is designed for tourists and locals to pause, connect, and savor something thoughtfully made.

Fast-Casual, Chef-Curated

Though the setting is relaxed, the food is anything but. Logue (Daniel, Betony, The Clocktower) and Miller (Atera, DB Bistro, Smith & Wollensky) bring fine-dining backgrounds to the menu, shaped by their current work at The Lambs Club, where they're reimagining classic New York dining with a fresh, refined touch. That sensibility carries over here, with a menu of thoughtfully crafted Italian fare that balances simplicity with technique.

Wine windows, or buchette del vino, rose to global fame thanks to Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy and a fascination with old-world rituals. Today, more than 150 are visible across Florence. With Buchette del Vino NYC, Logue and Miller bring that same cultural touchpoint to New York, adding a sense of fun and culinary creativity to the city's most iconic crossroad.

"During my time in Italy, I developed a deep appreciation for the food and the culture around it — how something as simple as a glass of wine or an espresso and a sandwich can become a daily ritual," says Logue. "The wine windows of Florence capture that spirit perfectly, and bringing that experience to New York feels like a natural extension of what we're doing at The Lambs Club: blending tradition with creativity in a way that feels joyful and welcoming, while trying to be a beacon of hospitality in the city that I was born and raised in."

"Times Square is excited to welcome a taste of Florence with Buchette del Vino - a unique and elevated dining experience at the Crossroads of the World," said Tom Harris, President of the Times Square Alliance. "This wine window will be a draw for both tourists and New Yorkers, and we applaud the investment by Chef Jack Logue, Chris Miller, and The Lambs Club to bring something so special to the neighborhood."
