Where to Go Tonight: The Village Voice Holiday Spirits Tasting in NYC

In Good Spirits

New York imbibers will sip and sail tonight at the Village Voice's 2nd annual Holiday Spirits tasting event aboard The Hornblower Infinity Cruise Ship. More than 30 distilleries and wineries— including Art in the Age Craft Spirits, Brooklyn Gin, Dulce Vida Organic Tequila, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Asahi Beer and Barrow's Intense— will get attendees into the holiday spirit (see what I did there?) with their latest offerings. Meanwhile, DJ Tim Martell will be spinning on the main and mid decks, and jazz quartet, the Blue Vipers of Brooklyn will perform sets throughout the evening in the Slow & Low Lounge.
