If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that booze is expensive in New York City. A glass of wine in a restaurant is equal in price, if not pricier, than a bottle at home. So it’s unsurprising that BYOB (bring your own booze) spots are popular alternatives, as guests can enjoy the perks of a meal out without drastically raising the price of their bill. We profile Manhattan’s best Indian BYOB spots.
