‘The Dray’ celebrates its grand opening

The newest addition to the cluster of restaurants and bars on 65th St. just east of 8th Ave. celebrated its grand opening Friday night. The Dray is a cozy European-style cafe that converts into a cool neighborhood bar at night. For daytime visitors, it has an espresso machine, a handful of pastries, sandwiches and free WiFi. By evening, it has a killer eclectic beer list, plasma TVs and roll-up windows. We attended the grand opening (a packed house) and realized it could quickly turn into a popular hangout. But popularity could come at a price: it’s in a relatively small space, so seating is at a premium.
