Manhattan Rolls Out The Red Carpet For Cocktails
If you can’t get to Tucson for BaconFest, there’s always Manhattan for the fifth annual Manhattan Cocktail Classic. It’s too late for tickets to the main events but there’s still time to snag tickets to the first two sessions of Mandarine Napoleon’s Double Buzz: Coffee and Cocktails as well as sessions in schnapps, mescal and lemon vodka. But what about the whisky, you cry? Well, as can be expected, all the whisky-centric events are sold out but you can try to get a sense of what you’re missing over at Bouley [in the Tribeca district] where they will be serving Japanese Suntory whisky using water shipped in from the Yamazaki River [where the distilleries are located. That’s better than both Jim Beam and nothing!
The Manhattan Cocktail Classic takes place from May 17-21, 2013 at several locations around New York City with the two main locations being the New York Public Library and the Andaz 5th Avenue Hotel. Tickets are between $25 and $395 – more information may be found at the official Manhattan Cocktail Classic website.
