The newly renamed, Court Bar, at the St. Giles Hotel in NYC will be hosting an intimate tasting event open to the public March 6th featuring antioxidant super fruit, bai.

Imagine you’re staying at a luxurious hotel- relaxing in a beautiful suite or perhaps basking in the rays by the azure pool, and you find your pallet is parched. You’re not about to signal the valet for a rum and coke, are you?

Get over Hump Day with a little boozin’ at the NYC Indy Spirits Expo next Wednesday at 6:30 (VIP entrance at 5 p.m.). Yes—locally produced, independent liquor is the latest in the foodie/drink snob trend. From vodka to cognac, the unique spirits come from small operations in New England to bigger indie brands from all over the world. You’ll even meet the people behind the fine drinks—exhibitors from Love Potion No. 9 to Square One Organic Vodka.

LES bar Mason Dixon might be most closely associated with the Old South (it is, after all, named after a very famous line), but that doesn’t mean they can’t host festivities for the international sporting event that is the World Cup. The bar will be opening early for games all month long and rolling out some serious deals starting this Friday. And trust us: if you’re planning on taking advantage of these specials, you better lace up your drinking shoes.
