Located at 530 Second Avenue, Vanguard Wine Bar diversifies the bar offerings in this section of Kips Bay.  Down a few steps from Second Avenue, Vanguard offers numerous wines by bottle and glass, as well as good wine bar food.  Our favorite was the cheddar cheese dip.  Amazing stuff.  The space has the main bar in the center and offers seating along the sides of the space.  Definitely worth a visit next time you’re in that part of town.
