Our favorite Manhattan bar opening of 2023

The first Manhattan location of TALEA brewery.  We’ve visited TALEA’s Brooklyn locations, both the original Williamsburg location as well as the slightly newer Cobble Hill location and we enjoyed both spots.  The Manhattan location, located in the heart of the West Village at 102 Christopher Street, is a great addition to any West Village NYC beer bar crawl.  The West Village location opens at 10am daily and offers about 20 beers.  We look forward to returning here in 2024 and beyond!

December 5 marks the 90th anniversary of the end of Prohibition in the United States

December 5, 2023 marks the 90th 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.

How will you be marking the anniversary today?
