Maple syrup substitutes for simple syrup in a Manhattan, adding rounded texture and winter warmth while preserving the cocktail's spirit-forward, structured identity.
There's nothing as festive as New York City during Christmastime: The streets are bedecked with twinkling lights, holiday markets are filled with the scent of mulled wine, and the giant tree at Rockefeller Center is the envy of every other city's efforts at presenting holiday cheer. Though most New York bars and restaurants will offer a glass of cheer or a seasonal martini, if you're looking to don your favorite ugly sweater and get into the spirit, you want a place that goes all out. From an official Mariah Carey-sanctioned bar to an homage to the Grinch, here are New York's best holiday bars this season.
I needn't have worried. The Cliveden Astor Après Ski Pop-Up has thought of everything. It is a stylish lesson in alpine chic. Set on the elegant outdoor terrace of the Astor Grill restaurant, the cosy courtyard space has been transformed into a playful winter hideaway - complete with vintage-style cable-car gondola seating, velvety soft throws and warm, ambient lighting that almost mimics the glow of a mountain lodge. It feels like a fully fledged seasonal escape in a Richard Burton movie.
