THAT MEXICAN RESTAURANT IS BACK IN PLAY
The proprietors behind the high-end Mexican restaurant considering 39 N. Moore have decided to move forward with their plans. They’ll go before Community Board 1’s Tribeca Committee on Wednesday night. (I can’t attend; if you’ve ever wanted to go and report on a CB1 meeting, this is your big chance. Email me at tribecacitizen@gmail.com.)
MALBEC MARCH MADNESS AT ESTANCIA
Estancia, proudly pouring Malbec wines since 1995, is taking its love of the grape to the next level with Malbec March Madness. The restaurant is offering 12 to 15 excellent Malbecs by the glass, along with wine flights showcasing the different styles based on terroir, altitude, and so forth. Choose your favorite one and you’ll be entered into a raffle—the winner gets a case of mixed Malbec! And wine purveyors are visiting throughout the month, chatting with customers about their wines. It’s just one more reason to visit everyone’s favorite neighborhood restaurant. 460 Greenwich, 212-431-9088, estancia460.com. Sponsored.
