Can anyone suggest some place near the Grill for drinks beforehand? Tue Sep 26 00:59:40 -0700 2006 42943 uwsdixie 1 1902736 The Brandy Library. Definitely. Other option: bar at Tribeca Grand - is it called Church? Tue Sep 26 13:22:44 -0700 2006 1902002 24925 chow_gal 2 1903163 Yes, it is the Church Lounge. I like the space for a larger group, especially later at night. Tue Sep 26 16:43:19 -0700 2006 1902736 13035 bobby06877 1 1902810 You can also try VinoVino at Franklin and W. Broadway if you are more in the mood for a wine bar. Otherwise Brandy Library is your best bet. Tue Sep 26 14:08:32 -0700 2006 1902002 13408 Phil E 2 1903285 VinoVino is SO great. I went there on a recommendation from a friend. I had never heard of it before, but their wines were really amazing. Although the per-glass price was a tad steep, the pours and the wine quality were certainly equal to the price. Tue Sep 26 17:17:45 -0700 2006 1902810 12859 jonasblank
