Jackdaw is the name of the bar-restaurant opening soon at 213 Second Ave. at 13th Street... you can see the outline for Jackdaw on the marquee here ...
The Jackdaw Instagram account describes this as a "craft bar and kitchen" that will serve brunch, lunch and dinner.
CB3 OK'd the new liquor license last December for Curt Huegel, who runs a handful of establishments around the city, including Campagnola, Printers Alley, Galli and Bill's NYC.
While it sounds like an Aerosmith song or Johnny Depp character, Jackdaw is actually a crow-like black bird.
Durden, a "Fight Club"-inspired sports bar, closed earlier this year after five-plus years in the corner space that previously housed the Nightengale Lounge.

A Jackdaw, known in this country as a Grackle, otherwise known as a Crow. I believe before Nightingales that there was a coffee shop there called Once Tells Tea Room, which was a strange name for a coffee shop.
This location somehow attracts shops with the most obscure names. Had they just named it The Crow they would have attracted plenty of Game of Thrones fans, who tend to be heavy drinkers.
Another booze and party food joint that serves no one well except the owners and their bank account. (sigh).
"Nightingales" originally was on the East Side of 2nd Ave. and 5th Street, where Frank's (?) pizza is now, right next to "The Kitchen Sink". The place was an unofficial after-hours club that never got hassled because some of the cops from the 9th used to enjoy a beer or two there after their shift. Oh the good old days....
