Subterranean bar PDT (113 St. Mark's Place) is one of the best drink spots in the city, so it's not often we partake in a classic cocktail while we're there. However, a recent night got late in a hurry and we needed our usual nightcap - the Manhattan.We didn't offer a liquor suggestion and we were not disappointed. The drink we were served was made with Rittenhouse Rye and Carpano Antica, purportedly "the original" sweet Italian vermouth. It was terrific, perfectly balanced and nicely presented with three small cherries on a skewer across the top. If only all Manhattans could be this delicious.
