On the Grid : Industry City Distillery
"An experimental distillery specializing in creating craft spirits through science. They produce their Industry Standard Vodka distilled from beets on specially designed and handmade machines. They offer tours, tastings, and special events in their top-floor space with spectacular views of lower Manhattan. Surrounded by the machines themselves, you get a feel for the process even while not on a tour. Not only does the distillery produce delicious beet sugar vodka, they also have a laboratory, a machine shop, and a letterpress studio that they use. While at the distillery you really get a sense that the people who work there are passionate about their jobs. Be sure to try the vodka and if you are taking a tour to book a reservation online as they do fill up!" - Amanda DeRosa & Alexandra Marino
