"Our friend once ordered a gin and tonic at Amor y Amargo, and the bartender said, “Sure.” The bartender then delivered what was actually a gin cocktail with club soda and grapefruit bitters and quinine syrup. That’s because this is a “bitters tasting room,” and all the cocktails on offer are made accordingly, with bitters. This is an East Village institution that you should check out at least once. Just enter through the shop in front, and you'll find what looks like a small, old-timey apothecary with shelves full of booze." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
