Now that the term "mixologist" has become part of our national lexicon, it's only fitting that NYC puts on an entire festival devoted to cocktail culture. Opening with a swank bash at the New York Public Library, the five-day fest continues with a slew of palate-opening seminars at the Astor Center, behind-the-(bar)-scene evenings at local establishments, and food and cocktail pairings at restaurants. Needless to say, imbibing is a central activity at each event. Cheers to that!
