The Dead Rabbit
Entering at the taproom, this award-winning bar may look like a rowdy Irish pub, but climb the stairs to the second floor to find the seating-room-only parlor with one of the best cocktail menus in the world. Presented as a graphic novel, the exhaustive list is the brainchild of Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry (named International Bartender of the Year in 2013). But, don't let it overwhelm you: the bartenders and servers can help you navigate among the vast number of extensively researched and expertly executed concoctions.
