EaterWire: DOC Lounge, A Spotted Pig PSA, A New Di Fara Projection, and More

WILLIAMSBURG— According to a tipster, DOC Wine Bar in Williamsburg is growing a DOC Lounge. It will be attached to the original bar: "I got a peek inside – the place is beautiful – very Sardinian style with white plaster and rich wood accents. All furniture has been shipped from Italy...It's considerably bigger, it's much more airy and open...They have this cool oven with lit-up Italian wine bottles sculpted into it...It's on the Wythe side of the street down from DOC wine bar at the corner of 7th. They are talking about a Feb. 14th soft open." [EaterWire]
