The fabled Oak Room in the Plaza Hotel will finally reopen Nov. 8, after a month-plus delay. I'll be there the first day. Here's a glimpse of the cocktails that will be on offer—some of the most expensive in town.
A few observations: St. Germain on the agenda—natch!; they're going for the more modern version of the Old Fashioned, with the muddled orange and cherry; lots of rye in evidence—nice!; and their Manhattan is a perfect version, made with rye, very expensive rye. Looking good.
