ABS Partners Real Estate, LLC, one of New York City's foremost real estate services firms, has completed a 12-year lease for Vanguard Wine Bar in Kips Bay on 530 Second Avenue.

"It was designed to offer patrons a truly differentiated and international food experience that provides an alternative to the bars and pubs that are prevalent in this area."
