**The Quintessential Guide to Imbibing in New York City **New York is quite possibly the easiest city for cocktail aficionados to be lured into tourist traps for drinks. If you’re a visitor, chances are you’ve got tickets to “Hamilton” and are looking for a good pre- or post-musical drink and most of your choices in the Theater District’s immediate vicinity are watering holes with the highest prices for the lowest quality.

And if you’re a local, you may have fallen into the routine of sipping at the “same-old, same-old” and allowed comfort to get in the way of exploration. That’s where* The Not For Tourists New York City Cocktail Companion * comes in. This comprehensive book traverses all five boroughs (yes, even Staten Island) as well as a couple of honorary enclaves across the river, to detail the most authentically New York spots crafting the freshest, most flavor-forward and cutting-edge cocktails.

Additionally, the book includes recipes for sixty such concoctions from many of those venues, for you to always have a neighborhood-by-neighborhood taste of Gotham in your home, apartment, or hotel when you don’t feel like going out.
