Trusted neighborhood wine & spirits shop unveils expanded space, modern design, and renewed commitment to community

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- McCabes Wine & Spirits, a beloved fixture of Manhattan's Upper East Side for more than 57 years, will officially reopen its doors on October 16th, 2025, following a transformative expansion and redesign. Known for its curated wine and spirits selection, attentive staff, and community commitment, the shop is entering a new chapter with a reimagined space. 

Founded in 1967, McCabes continues its tradition of local family ownership. Today, led by owner Daniel Mesznik, a seasoned wine expert and former general manager of Best Bottles on the Upper West Side and Acker Wines in Lincoln Center, the shop bridges the past with the present. Many of the shop's guests ask for Mesznik by name upon arrival, reflecting the personal relationships he has built and his connection to the community. He also continues McCabes' legacy of supporting the UES neighborhood through donations and partnerships with local schools, churches, synagogues, and other non-profits.

"McCabes has always been more than just a store," said Daniel Mesznik, Owner of McCabes Wine & Spirits. "We want every guest to feel comfortable asking questions, learning about wine and spirits, and discovering something new. Our staff is highly knowledgeable yet approachable and is always more than happy to guide guests through the store to assist them, myself included." 

The renovation significantly expands the store's footprint, introducing wider, easy-to-navigate aisles, abundant natural light from large picture windows, and a contemporary design aesthetic. The new space features clean sight lines, white oak built-ins and displays, a custom temperature-controlled fine wine and spirits room, and a wine-tasting area that will be utilized for weekly tasting experiences, encouraging exploration and education. 

"My team and I are really proud of what we have accomplished with this renovation. We can't wait to share the new and improved shopping experience with the community," added Mesznik. 

McCabes has also expanded its selections by up to 35% in key categories including Champagne, Burgundy, Kosher wine, and Tequila. The store now offers the largest selection of Kosher wines in Manhattan, alongside a variety of spirits from local distilleries such as Fort Hamilton Distillery and Kings County Distillery.

Now with a revamped space and expanded selection for every price point and preference, McCabes' reopening marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the store. Still, the Mesznik family remains committed to maintaining its longstanding reputation of serving the community with expertise, warmth, and care.
