Bar crawling along Orchard Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side

We stopped in at recently-opened Reception Bar, a Korean cocktail bar, located at 45 Orchard Street (just north of Hester Street).  The focus here is on cocktails made with Korean spirits.  Bartenders are knowledgeable and will help you pick the right cocktail for you.  It’s a rather small space, so you probably won’t want to bring parties larger than three here.

December 5 marks the 85th anniversary of the end of Prohibition in the United States

December 5, 2018 marks the 85th anniversary of the end of U.S. Prohibition. On this date in 1933, Utah became the 36th U.S. state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution (achieving the required 75% of states to approve the amendment). This ratification overturned the 18th Amendment, which outlawed alcohol in the United States. So, how will you be marking the anniversary today, with a pub crawl in NYC perhaps? Leave us a comment below to let us know!
