It's made in Brooklyn by a guy named jack. Appropriately the company is called Jack from Brooklyn. It's a garnet red hibiscus and island spiced liqueur that has origins in the Caribbean. It pairs naturally with rum, but I've also been using it with tequila and gin, so it's really caught my attention.
BITTERMENS COMMONWEALTH TONIC CORDIAL
I love using Bittermens Commonwealth Tonic cordial. It’s an alcoholic (21% or 42 proof) alternative to tonic water, you simply add seltzer. This gives me the ability to control how bitter the tonic is by adding more or less seltzer. The fact that it's made with alcohol, a much better solvent than water, means there are more flavors extracted from the quinine and other roots and botanicals. Plus it doesn't dilute the drink so much. It really is a superior tonic.

Wine / Liquor Store
Find | Liquor / Wine Stores - New york, NY
It’s the best liquor store for variety and friendly staff. If they don't already have it, they'll get it for you. It's a bit pricier than most spots, but you know going in that they'll have what you need, so it's a convenience thing. They also do lots of tastings, so you can get to try a spirit before you buy it or check out a new one you'd never have considered.
KALUSTYAN’S
I love shopping at Kalustyan's for interesting ingredients, like sugars, syrups, hydro-sols, herbs, roots etc. I get inspired by the sheer volume of items they have. It's like an anthropological study going there. If they don't have it, they can usually get it for you. I usually go with one thing in mind and end up staying for an hour and leaving with ten items.

Williamsburg
Oyster Bar / Absinthe Bar
I love Maison Premiere in my neighborhood for its old New Orleans feel (I lived there for 3 years cooking for Susan Spicer at Bayona and Cobalt), plus I'm a sucker for absinthe.

Bedford Stuyvesant
Bar
It's situated right next door to the laundromat that I use, so I go there while I do my wash. It's kind of dive-y and serves free shell peanuts and tall boys of Pabst with a shot of whiskey for $5. The best part is they also do some classic cocktails and some pretty inventive originals. They have a drink using duck fat washed rye! All in a spot next to the Marcy Housing Project aptly named Project Parlor.
