In the heart of Soho atop of one of the newest and most chic additions to New York City is Bar Hugo located at the top of the new boutique Hotel Hugo. With breathtaking 360 degree views of NYC capturing both the Freedom Tower, Empire State Building, and a must see sunset Bar Hugo makes some of the best cocktails you will find in NYC. And, one of their must try signature cocktails is "The Hugo".

The menu is a creation of Head Mixologist of David Roth with the blessing of bar Manager Jason Eisen. Roth brings 20 years of bartending experience where he studied under Naren Young (famed Mixologist consulting in Singapore, Greece, Moscow, France, London, Argentina, Hong Kong, Germany, Brazil, New York, New Zealand, Australia where he was raised). Roth has curated a menu with "Michelin riffs" on classics cocktails borrowed from past training. Roth's favorite drink at Bar Hugo is the Manhattan and trust me it is a must try.

At a bar where the lowest grade well is Absolut, fresh fruit surrounds mixes and elixirs with the sunset in the background, it is the perfect place for a date or late night drink. The bartenders care and put care into their cocktail, and will go outside of the menu to create whatever you can dream of. Stop by the bar while Roth is still there, and try to make "The Hugo" yourself.
