Last night saw the soft-opening of the Renaissance Hotel’s new bar Bar Novo (zing!). 312 Dining Diva was on hand for its opening, and tweeted that the space is “very, very sexy for those who cannot get into Roof!” Is that a burn? Should we be offended? Should Bar Novo be offended? While we ponder the complicated dynamics of hotel bar hierarchies, you can read on for Bar Novo’s opening menu, including our beloved truffalo wings.
