Applewood-smoked ice, radish bitters, and Fernet-Branca-and-cola on tap make their Avenue C debuts on January 13 at the Wayland, Alphabet City’s newest outpost for cutting-edge cocktails. The scavenger-chic décor bears the distinctive mark of Greenpoint’s brothers Haslegrave; bar snacks range from raw oysters to “braised beast” on toast; and live music is the sole legacy of the joint’s humble predecessor, Banjo Jim’s (700 E. 9th St., at Ave. C; 212-777-7022).
