NY CRAFT COCKTAIL TOUR: The Library at The Public

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NY Craft Cocktail Tour explores the craft cocktail culture of New York from local distilleries to specialty spirit shops to amazing cocktail bars and speakeasies. 

One of the most iconic off Broadway theaters is the Public Theatre with their massive theater complex just north of Astor Place. But many theatergoers have no idea that there is a psuedo-hidden restaurant and cocktail lounge inside the complex. It’s open to the public (and Public Theater attendees) and serves fantastic old-style cocktails like vinegar-based shrubs. Learn more about craft cocktails on the new NY Craft Cocktail Tour that I designed.
