Death & Co.
Yet another reason why New York is one awesome city. I love the idea of Death & Co. The lounge’s identity is also really well done.
In 1919 the Volstead Act brought a swift end to nightlife, and the refined craft of the American bartender was outlawed. It was thought that to drink alcohol was to live a life shadowed by death. It was thought by some that these were death and company. It’s taken us nearly a century to restore flavor to the drink and class to the specialty cocktails. In our time, a night to celebrate life’s simple pleasures with fine wine, exquisitely crafted cocktails, beautifully prepared food, and impeccable sipping spirits is a rare gift. To those who shun the night, we tip our hat. To those who shine after dusk, we offer a warm embrace. Welcome to the golden age. Welcome to Death & Co.

October 29, 2007 at 9:48 pmI was there, on a weekend visit to NYC from Chicago, a couple of weeks ago. AMAZING cocktails, made with top-shelf liquors and liquers, and the freshest ingredients available. Don’t get the bartenders started on vermouth — they cringe at the way others store it out of the refrigerator. They are wonderfully friendly, though. I heart Death & Co.
