[To be read in booming movie trailer narrator voice].

In a world where people drink legally but still love an unmarked bar, I am returning to my old stomping grounds at Astor Center to teach a class.

This October 18, I am guiding you through the Cocktails of Hidden NYC, past and present. We will be discussing the history of the city's most spectacular speakeasies and bars that are kept tucked away (and why I believe that in modern times these should be considered 2 separate concepts, ahem). And you'll learn how to prepare 3 famous cocktails from bars from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries (Niblos's Garden, '21' Club, and Dear Irving) — and sip them too!

Plus there's bread and cheese.

For a limited time, you can score a ticket for 10% off with code COCKTAIL10.

Hope to see you there!
