Manhattan Bars we visited this week

We were able to get some bar hopping done mid-week this week.  Among the places we visited were Battery Park City’s Black Hound, Midtown’s (or is it Murray Hill’s) Cash Bar and Murray Bar (these two spots are upstairs/downstairs from each other — same owners).  We also visited recently-opened The Royal on Fourth Avenue in the Village (it’s not often you hear Fourth Avenue in Manhattan as an address!).  We will have reviews of all these places in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned.
