The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens

NYC Bars Focused on Sustainability Right Now | Eater

"The Times Square Edition’s ‘Excelsior’ cocktail is aptly named. Not only is it poured for you amid some of Times Square’s finest luxury, but the New York state motto means “ever upward” in the most aspirational sense. With that in mind, the hotel has sought to remove plastic from its guest experience while also concocting mindful drinks like this one. While other environmentally minded drinks are always on the menu, catch Excelsior while you can at Edition’s Terrace and Outdoor Gardens. It’s a 100% zero-waste cocktail utilizing two kinds of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE — including the luxe BOMBAY SAPPHIRE PREMIER CRU — while reusing the bottles for batching and saving some industrial-volume dishwashing energy, water, and runoff." - Brendan McGinley
