Now that it’s September and most locals have returned from their summer vacations, this is the season for new restaurant and bar openings.  Among recently-opened or about-to-open pubs in Manhattan on our radar include the Financial District’s Clinton Hall (a craft-beer bar/beer hall), Chelsea’s American Whiskey (taking over the space that was The Parlour Midtown on West 30th Street), Lower East Side’s Fool’s Gold (another craft-beer focused bar in the former White Rabbit space) and The Winslow (a cocktail spot on East 14th Street).  We hope to visit all of these (and other) spots in the coming days and weeks.  As always, we’ll share with you our thoughts on these spots in forthcoming posts.
