NYC Dining with Wine

[Scoop]

Yeah, the Mayor and company may have done too good a job in cleaning up Times Square --now its death by theme restaurant!

And watch out, those hordes of tourists crossing 42nd St. could trample you underfoot! These are the dangers we live with!

On a completely different line of thought, a new wine bar -- "Rhone" -- has opened up in the 14th St. meat-packing district near the restaurant "Florent". It features only Rhone wines --hence the name -- running the gamut from Cote Rotie to Lirac and everything around and in between.

It's not cheap, but it has a full selection an some fair choices in the CDR and CDRV categories. A very "downtown" setting, and they will (eventually) have a bistro-type menu.

Cheers,
