   |  The Great Corkage Schmorkage ListFebruary 26, 2008 at 12:10 am by john UPDATED - 2/27/08
When restaurants offer no, low, or discounted corkage for wine you bring into their restaurants, it's a big deal. The margin on food aint pretty so alcohol usually makes up the difference for them. So, support these restaurants! And please, by all means, leave comments below with restaurants we have left out that offer low or no corkage.

Just don't forget to bring your own wine because if you have to buy it at the Golden Gopher next door you will get totally hosed. Colori Kitchen: 429 West 8th, near Olive; (213) 622-5950. Everyone we've taken here has named their first-born child after us. April 17, 2009 2:50 PM |
This may not totally be northeast...but Caioti on Tujunga between Moorpark and Ventura, Studio City, is MY absolute favorite Friday night spot. NO CORKAGE...they simply give you an opener and two cups, so I recommend bringing your own glasses (we do.) The pizzas are amazing - I have the Rustica every time I'm there. It's a small place, so the wait can be long between 6 and 8 p.m.
