If it's your kind of scene, head to The VNYL in the East Village for some free rosé daily from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Order any snack or shared plate and you'll receive one free glass of Maison Saleya Rosé. Order any of the "Plates," like Chicken Kiev ($24), a Burger ($18), or Bone-In Veal Milanese ($36) and it's bottomless rosé, baby.
