The Quintessential Guide to Imbibing in New York City

New York is quite possibly the easiest city for cocktail aficionados to be lured into tourist traps for drinks. If you're a visitor, chances are you've got tickets to Hamilton and are looking for a good pre- or post-musical drink. Most of your choices in the Theatre District's immediate vicinity are watering holes with the highest prices for the lowest quality.

And if you're a local, you may have fallen into the routine of sipping at the 'same-old, same-old' and allowed comfort to get in the way of exploration. That's where The Not For Tourists New York City Cocktail Companion comes in. This comprehensive book traverses all five boroughs (yes, even Staten Island) as well as a couple of honorary enclaves across the river, to detail the most authentically New York spots crafting the freshest, most flavour-forward, and cutting-edge cocktails.

Additionally, the book includes recipes for sixty such concoctions from many of those venues, allowing you to always have a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood taste of Gotham in your home, apartment, or hotel when you don't feel like going out.
