New York's Roosevelt Hotel Opens Vander Bar

    Just in time for St. Patty's Day, the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan will open its new Vander Bar on March 15. Just in time, too: The bar is located on the street level of the hotel at the corner of Vanderbilt and 45th Street, just one block from the insanely popular St. Patrick’s Parade.

    Open Monday through Friday from noon until 9 p.m., the bar has a wide variety of beers on tap, as well as a menu of light bites (the Mini Lobster Rolls sound divine). For some funky cocktails, try The Blackberry (a vodka-infused drink named in honor of one of Midtown’s favorite toys...look, just be happy they didn't call it the Crackberry!), the Madison Avenue Mai Tai, the Bull Moose (pictured right, a mix of coffee and Patrón—yum!) or The Lombardo, a salute to the Big Band great Guy Lombardo who began his New Year’s Eve tradition of broadcasting “Auld Lang Syne” from the hotel. (It's amazing, the trivia you can learn in bars. Why else do you think it's the Guinness Book of Records?)

    Nice touch: Vander Bar has its own dedicated 45th Street entrance.
