Vanguard Wine Bar

A cute new Wine Bar has opened in the old pizza place on 2nd Avenue between 29th and 30th Streets. It is a project of one of the owners of Bar Carrera in Greenwich Village and Custom American Wine Bar in Williamsburg. The wine bar will serve a variety of old and new French and American wines.  The menu, created by Soa Davies (formerly of Le Bernardin), features a variety of small-plates, highlighting cuisine from the two countries and meant to complement the wines. Looks like a great place for post-Fairway shopping or before a movie.
