West Village: Greenwich Avenue is on the verge of a fairly substantial upgrade as Gottino (awning/logo reveal, above; as of 11/2006, right), a wine bar from Jody Williams and, per the SLA paperwork, Michael Bull, is readying for debut at number 52. The venue, it turns out, is steeped in Plywood history. At one time, this was believed to be a Brian McNally project; now we know better. A look through the increasingly uncovered front window reveals a marble bar the length of the room, with chandeliers of a crystal type hanging above. This isn't a knock-off, to be sure, but think standard Manhattan wine bar protocol. Opening TBD. Look out for in fall preview listings. [PLYWOOD]
