Cashew   

The Peanut is a locally legendary lair of libation. The Peanut's six metro locations are famous for hot wings, cold beer and a comfy-dive atmosphere. But this famous legume's new downtown nighttime nut, the Cashew, is not what many may expect. Gone are the wings and the writing on the wall. The Cashew is a sleeker, more contemporary drinkatorium that hosts happy-hour suits and Crossroad artists. A small menu of sandwiches and soups plays second fiddle to the towering liquor shelf. The Cashew does not technically offer outdoor seating, though large open windows provide a panoramic view of the downtown skyline and front-row views of Grand Street traffic. The Cashew has also embraced train traffic, as ''train shots'' are taken with each passing of the downtown delivery trains. And though they won't give you wings, the Cashew will give you a unique downtown drink spot.
