Top 10 NYC Cocktail Bars to Open in 2011: Reader's Choice!

Since starting this blog more than two years ago, I have made an end-of-year list of the top 10 cocktail bars to open in NYC each year, recognizing the best new additions to our drinking scene. See 2010's picks here and 2009's picks here. Since I have abstained from drinking alcohol for most of this year (yes, if you haven't heard by now, I'm pregnant and due in January), I am looking to you, dear readers, to help me compile the 2011 list. This year is especially difficult since so many fantastic bars (and restaurants with stellar bar programs) have opened. I'm hoping you can help me narrow down the favorites! Voting will end December 15.
