We’ve spent a good portion of this summer exploring spots in Brooklyn and Queens and it’s been a great time.  So now, we figure we need to show Manhattan a little love.  Manhattan bars currently on our radar include Financial District’s Clinton Hall, Flatiron’s Flatiron Hall and East Village’s Maiden Lane.  We gather that the first two are beer halls.  Flatiron Hall is from the same folks behind Houston Hall.  Maiden Lane takes over the spot where Life Cafe, a great East Village brunch spot, used to be.  We are looking forward to visiting all three.
