Looking to buy wine prior to embarkation in NYC

[farodeluzgirl]

Sailing on the TA from New york to Barcelona on April 22nd. NCL is allowing people to buy a certain number of bottles of wine prior to embarkation. Does anybody can recommend a wine store near the port? ( good prices and selection)

Are you spending the night in Manhattan? What are you looking for? Good price and good selection is very dependent on your price and tastes. It looks like there are several within an easy walk of MCT, including one on 53rd and 10th Avenue. I'll defer to a local. If you're overnighting, you have different choices. NYC beer/wine/liquor laws can be "interesting", and it's on you if you want to try to walk all over Manhattan to find a couple of bottles of wine! And most stores are very neighborhood oriented.

NCL has never had a wine limit. In the past it was $15 corkage per bottle, but now if you have the UDP free at sea promo, you can bring on as many bottles as you like for no fee.

Flying from Puerto Rico early in the morning. I will lke to go to a wine store and pick up some bottles either after I checked in or before I go to the port.

Which airport are you flying into? Getting a car to stop for wine, especially Manhattan, could be difficult.
