Recently, we’ve had the opportunity to visit Lower East Side’s 151 and Copper & Oak and the Financial District’s Cedar Local.  151 feels similar to the other incarnations in this space (Rivington 151, etc.).  It’s a cocktail bar from the same folks as East Village’s Death & Co (photo of 151 below).  Copper & Oak and Cedar Local are both interesting spots and we’ll have our take on those NYC bars in the coming days.
