Here are some events to whet your whistle for the next few days:
Sake is big this weekend -
Sakaya: Friday 5/1 6pm - 8pm
Greene Grape: Friday 5pm - 7pm (55 Liberty Street, Manhattan), Saturday 5pm - 7pm (765 Fulton Street, Fort Greene)
Acker & Merrill: Thursday 5:30 - 7:30pm and Saturday 5/2 2pm - 5pm
If you're looking for something other than sake, Astor Wines and Spririts (399 Lafayette Street) has multiple tastings. Tonight you can play out the classic Northern vs Southern Italy rivalry by trying four wines. On Saturday, you can try four more Italian wines as well as some Woodford Reserve Bourbon (the best bourbon there is in our humble opinion) in honor of Kentucky Derby day.
Lastly, as much as we'd like to avoid it, Cinco de Mayo is coming up. Garnet Wines & Liquors (929 Lexington Avenue) is having a blow-out with live music, tequila and margarita tastings and more. Saturday 5/2 from 12pm - 3pm.
