Death + Company
New York, New York
Considering the fact that alcohol will eventually kill you if you drink enough of it — during prohibition, some thought to drink was to be shadowed by death — the name Death + Company seems perfectly fitting for a bar. The name, however, belies the sophistication inside: you won't see anyone trying to drink themselves to death here. Instead, you'll find some of the best — and most influential — cocktails in the country, sorted on the menu by base liquor, and whether they're shaken or stirred. Punches, wine, and beer round out the alcohol menu, which is complimented by a selection of small bites that are perfectly sized for enjoying with a fine beverage.
