Over the past several days, we’ve read of several new NYC bars that have recently opened or are about to open.  There’s Dead Rabbit in Manhattan’s Financial District at 30 Water Street.  This place has several different themes including whiskey and craftbeer; apparently, there’s also a small store attached to it.  About to open in Kips Bay, Vanguard Wine Bar (530 Second Avenue) will be a welcomed addition to that section of town.  Even though there are a few wine bars a block or two west, there’s nothing along that stretch of Second Avenue (we may now have the makings of a Murray Hill Wine Bar Crawl).  Then there’s The Royal, a sports bar of sorts, at 127 Fourth Avenue (between 12th and 13th Streets).  If that address sounds familiar, it’s because that address was home to The Forum and, and going further back, Pop Wine Bar.  And, we still need to visit Cash Bar on East 34th Street.  As always, we’ll keep you informed on our progress with these and other spots.

If you have any ideas on new spots we need to visit, please drop us a note!
