Jeff Byrnes: Absolutely stellar selection of spirits, and especially great for liqueur. Tons of amari, vermouth, aperitifs, & digestifs.
Noble Hill wines: Have a hankering for bubbly? We make 1,200 bottles of single-vineyard estate Blanc de blancs each year. 12 of those bottles are in this store, patiently waiting for your next celebration.
Scott Bleicher: THE bottle shop for local booze- NYS whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, vermouth...you name it and manager Charles and owner Frank know it.

Brett Fromme: Overwhelming selection of wines. Helps to be knowledgeable about wines to shop here. One of their recommendations was a dud. Still the king of the wine stores in Manhattan.
Serious Eats: Spirits are placed on a pedestal at this elegant Midtown spirits shop, which traffics in Old World categories like cognac and armagnac.
Anastasia Bezverkha: Great wine selections.
The Corcoran Group: Best selection of high end and rare scotches, whiskeys and bourbons in the city. Tell them your taste palate and they’ll find the bottle right for you.
Serious Eats: Small and unassuming at first glance, this is actually one of Manhattan's most storied liquor stores. Go for the old New York charm, as well as the wide array of Scotches.
Jacob: Extensive whisky selection. Try the Ardbeg Uigeadail if you're a single malt lover. Delightful stuff.

Jonathan Stenger: Best prices for craft beers I've seen. Great stock of some hard to find beers and an incredible selection of Lagunitas ales, including their bombers and seasonals.
Lumumba: Mad sexy Spanish girls here, all 10s
s dillman: Drive there with non-drinking friend. Park at Pathmark across the street & friend goes grocery shopping while you come here. Y/w. :-)
