Part of the NYC Cocktails & Curiosities Series

Arts & Crafts is one of my favorite spots in the city, matching two of the best things in the world, fabulous beer and, as you can see here, fabulous art ;)

Perhaps the most amazing part of Arts & Crafts is what you do NOT see.  Beneath you lies a high-tech subterranean beer cellar, the heart of Arts & Crafts.

The beer delivery system is lovingly referred to as "the Bugatti of beer systems."  It guarantees that cold beers will always be served at 32 degrees, thanks to 80 feet of super-cooled trunk line from the kegs to the taps.  The cellar also features a custom-made chill room that keeps kegs and bottles at the perfect temperature, with redundant chillers in case one fails.  These guys love their beer and really know their stuff.

About the NYC Cocktails & Curiosities Series of mixed media paintings

The debut gallery show of the paintings in this series coincided with the launch of the Cocktails and Curiosities Walking Tour Apps coded by the Artist Christi Scofield.  These tours feature famed spots in NYC with historical or pop-culture panache.  Cocktails & Curiosities is now part of the Carpe City brand.
