High above the city celebrating a major new addition to the NYC bar scene with Australian Bitters International & Bittertales at Ophelia! 🌇🍸

This launch is a huge deal for the craft cocktail scene. The bitters category has been dominated by the same legacy brands for decades, so seeing a fresh, modern perspective enter the mix is so exciting. Australian Bitters Company crafts everything in small batches using 100% natural botanicals, bringing a vibrant new energy to local bar programs.

They chose NYC as their very first US stop, which makes total sense given Manhattan’s role in shaping global mixology. The drink menu was stellar across the board, but a few quick highlights from the night:

🌿 The Seven Hills Sour — The crowd favorite, with an unbelievable balance of fresh citrus and warm botanical spice.

🏙️ Golden Hour Views — Unmatched city backdrop from Midtown East.

🥃 The Lineup — Sampling their full range of hand-crafted aromatic bitters.

Always love documenting new brands making waves in the city. Keep an eye out for these bottles on backbars across town! 🇦🇺✨

Just a quick love letter to Pig Beach at Citi Field 🧡💙

Six more Mets games this week, and only FOUR more homestands this season (😭) so there’s no better time than the present to try their loaded cornbread & pulled pork mac & cheese.

There’s a new pizza joint in town 🔥
Luchini Italian just opened a few weeks ago at the Moxy Hotel in Chelsea, and they’re bringing some really delicious Sicilian style squares, Italian heroes, rainbow cookies, and thin crust pizza to the neighborhood.

I especially loved the vodka slice with prosciutto & calabrian chili!

Swipe through to see some of the top bites.

Scenes from a wonderful evening overlooking Manhattan, celebrating the NYC launch of & Bittertales!

This launch is a pretty big deal because the bitters category has been dominated by the same legacy brands for forever.

Australian Bitters Company crafts everything in small batches using 100% natural botanicals, so they’re completely shaking up the scene with a fresh, modern perspective. They chose NYC as their very first US stop because, honestly, where else would you launch a line meant to influence global cocktail culture?

I tried a bunch of cocktails, all equally delicious, but the crowd favorite was the Seven Hills Sour, with its perfect balance of citrus and warm spice.

Always cool to see new brands making waves here. Keep an eye out for them at your local cocktail spots! 🍸🇦🇺
