All, I will be staying in NYC for the above dates for work and was wondering if y'all could send me in the right direction for absolute must drink destinations. I will be staying around Grand Central Station so if it could be close to that area even better. Thanks and cheers!
Rattle n Hum on 33rd between Madison and 5th. Ginger Man on 33rd as well. If you're not opposed to traveling, Top Hops is a must hit on the LES, as is Blind Tiger in the West Village. Both are easily accessible by subway. You bringing some good JK sours or what??
7--->G--->Nassau Ave stop = Torst As much as I bitch about the pricing, that is literally the one place in NYC I'd qualify as must drink
http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/weekend-trip-to-nyc.151163/ Beer Culture, too, on 45th between 8th and 9th Ave. on the south side of the street is awesome, not too far
I'll be visiting my folks up there from 5/15 to 5/19. I've been to all of those places listed. My trouble is figuring out where to go on certain days for tap takeover, tappings, etc.
Don't want you to get the wrong idea about New Yorkers. We don't actually want you to get lost in the city. Ginger Man is actually on 36th between Madison and 5th.
To the OP: Whatever you do, avoid Beer Authority on 40th near the Port Authority Bus Terminal unless, of course, you want the full tourist treatment. If that's what you're looking for, the Oyster Bar in Grand Central has more of a history and is somewhat worth it.
Go into Grand Central. Get on Metro North RR to Peekskill. Wallk across street to Peekskill Brewery. Thank me later.
+1 for Torst in BK and The Ginger Man in NYC ETA: If you have the time/can get a reservation and money isn't an issue, I'd also recommend trying the food and beer pairing dinner at Luksus/Torst as it is truly a unique experience and IMO was pretty awesome.
