The Launch of the First-Ever New York Bartender Week (Nov. 18-24) by Hanna Lee Communications!
What a special night!
Our agency’s first ever New York Bartender Week (Nov. 18-24) launched with a Kick-Off Gala at SECOND at the Kimpton Hotel Eventi in New York City.
A first-of-its-kind initiative, New York Bartender Week salutes bartenders, barbacks, bar/restaurant owners and hoteliers
in New York City and across New York State.
Beginning with a Press Conference
The Kick-Off Gala began with a press conference, where Lauren Scala, a four-time Emmy Award-winning TV host and reporter, interviewed New York Bartender Week’s founders Michael Anstendig and Hanna Lee. The duo shared the mission and inspiration behind New York Bartender Week and their vision for the global expansion of the concept in 2025 with Worldwide Bartender Week.
Star Bartenders Honor New York State
The Kick-Off Gala was highlighted by 10 top bartenders shaking and stirring up New York State-themed cocktails.
During New York Bartender Week, more than 140 participating bars are serving New York State-themed cocktails using a spirit from at least one of over 50 participating spirits producers in our Empire State.
