"Vanguard is a French wine bar, but not the quiet or quaint kind. The layout is open, the atmosphere is lively, and there's plenty of room groups. Come with some friends and get your night started here. Or maybe just sit at the bar and eat a meat and cheese plate by yourself. The next time you’re hanging out around Lincoln Center or Columbus Circle and you need a not-boring place to get a drink, keep Vanguard in mind. They also have locations on the Upper East Side and Midtown." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
