We know you were waiting anxiously to hear what's going on with that proposed wine bar on Central Park West. The good news is it was approved by the Community Board last night, and will most likely get its liquor license. The bad news is that means "drug dealers and paparazzi" would be heading to the area, according to residents of buildings which house the likes of A-Rod and Sting. Up next: lawyers attempt to argue that the space isn't zoned to be a bar. 25 CPW’s condo board president Paul Milman told West Side Independent, "It’s not over yet. There are other avenues we’re going to pursue." Take that, "sophisticated, mellow" wine bar!
