Among the most anticipated new dining experiences in New York City is KYU (pronounced “cue”), the acclaimed wood-fired Asian-inspired restaurant, which officially opened its doors in lower Manhattan.

The French are known for many things -- bread, wine, pastries, and of course, cheese. And luckily, New Yorkers have had the privilege of having their own French oasis in the heart of Nolita for eight years. The French Cheese Board, which recently moved to a new location at 56 Spring Street, is bigger and better than ever.

Orange wines are having a moment. Rosé has been the go-to wine of the summer for a handful of years, but as consumers become more and more educated about wines, they are looking to expand their horizons. While orange wines are as versatile as the reds, white, and pinks we’ve all grown to love, summer is a great time to try new things and enjoy some well-earned time off, wine included.

For one day only, Angelenos can kick start celebrations for National Tequila Day and enjoy complimentary custom crafted tea and coffee cocktails from 818 Tequila and Alfred Coffee – including the Tea-quila Peach Palmer, Carajillo and Sip of Summer.

Canned cocktails are nothing new, but in the last few years we’ve seen not only a huge surge in brands infiltrating the market, but also an impressive improvement in quality of product.

“Love from New York” comes to Vancouver in the form of a grand imbibe pop up. New York City’s number 10 ranked cocktail bar on the World’s 50 Best cocktail bar list (2021), Katana Kitten heads to Vancouver for three nights only.  Renowned owner and mixologist Masahiro Urushido, combines the best from the cocktail and culinary worlds of two beloved cities: New York and Tokyo. He will bring his expertise to Vancouver's premier luxury hotel Fairmont Pacific Rim, creating a specialty menu at both of the hotel’s exquisite restaurants: Botanist and The Lobby Lounge & RawBar. 

Two of the most influential, award-winning women in the spirits industry are Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix.

Summer may be winding down, but canned cocktails are here to stay. We spent the past couple months trying wayyy too many of them, and these ones made the cut of the best of the best. Add these canned cocktails to your year-round drinking list!
