Living in NYC means being annoyed often. And always within a two-block radius of Whole Foods. (The people! The lines! The prices!) So imagine my delight when I popped into the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle to buy a baguette and stumbled upon a cozy bar in the spot designated for the ne’er-meant-to-be WF wine shop. On Tap elevates the growler service of other locations by inviting shoppers to sit for a sip. There are 10 draft beers (and 116 bottles) starting at $6, plus 8 local wines (around $7 a glass). A locally inspired menu features treats like pickles, pretzels, housemade potato chips, cheese (full plates and ricotta) and curry macadamia nuts. They also tease with cheese curds but are apparently always sold out. Who cares, though … after a beer and a snack, shopping in that crazy place is soooo much more tolerable.
