Late dinner at Lupa -- where to go before?

[jbower]

I have a late Sunday night reservation at Lupa. Can anyone recommend a place in the area to go for some light snacks and a drink before dinner?

The Room is also a good chill bar, and just accross Houston. We had 10pm reservations at Lupa last friday and decided to just meet an hour early at the bar at Lupa for some prosecco and bartender chatting, and it worked perfectly. We had no trouble getting seats at the bar, but there is no guarantee. Its a great atmopshere for cocktails...

The Dove is a great bar, and it's just up the street from Lupa. Cozy atmosphere and good drinks, very laid back. I heard they just added a menu of small plates but haven't had a chance to try the food yet.

blue ribbon wine bar should be a bit quieter on sunday evening.

Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at Pegu Club perhaps? I like the bar at Chez Jacqueline, as well. Very classic and comforting.
