Clo: Like uWink before it, Clo, an new automated wine bar in the Time Warner Center, has liberated customers from burdensome interaction with human servers and their constant demand for gratuities. The video above, courtesy WCBS, shows the computer-run bar in action. (Do what you need to do to tune out the shrill newscaster voice.) The Times explains that customers can simply touch on a wine name to get details on tasting notes, food pairing suggestions, maps of the wine’s region and other info. Then leave it to the machines to dispense 2-ounce pours of 96 wines, for $3 to $10 each. There are plates of charcuterie and cheeses, too, and one expects local teens will be eager to test the computers' ability to search and destroy underage oenophiles. Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, (212) 823-9898.
