"Running until December 30 at the hotel is Blitzen’s Bar, featuring cocktails crafted by author and bar owner Julie Reiner, co-founder of Clover Club, Milady’s, and Leyanda in New York City and a judge on the Netflix series Drink Masters. With tinsel, neon signs, and kitschy leg lamps setting the scene, the bar is mixing up a cocktail list that includes the “Frost Bite,” a holiday-themed take on a pina colada, and “Tidings of Whiskey & Joy,” a riff on the New York Sour, and offering bites like “Reindeer Nuggets,” aka marinated castelvetrano olives and popcorn garlands seasoned with with winter truffles and parmesan." - Candice Woo
