A new era officially begins tonight at 121 Essex St. as Sadie's Ward takes over from the Whiskey Ward here between Rivington and Delancey.
Last fall, Whiskey Ward co-owner Sandee Wright decided that it was time to move on from the neighborhood bar after 24 years in service.
The new owner, Stephanie Watkins, is a hospitality vet who served as the Whiskey War's bar manager.
