The Manhattan Cocktail Classic, New York
Published on the 12th April 2010
Manhattan Cocktail Classic is New York City’s first ever multi-day event celebrating the history, contemporary culture, and artful craft of the cocktail.
Part festival, part fête, part conference, part cocktail party, the Manhattan Cocktail Classic brings together the unparalleled talents and opportunities of the bars, bartenders, and restaurants of our great city for five days of activities, both educational and celebratory in nature, championing the common ideals of authenticity, equality, sustainability, service, and pleasure. (There will be some drinking involved too.)
Check out the full line-up of tastings, pairing dinners, seminars, workshops, and one helluva crazy cocktail party at The New York Public Library.
