Finding a fantastic cocktail in the newly-named Nomad district is like finding something healthy to eat at McDonald’s–nearly impossible. Enter Rocco, the awesome (and affable) bartender at Bread & Tulip’s on Park Avenue and the corner of 26th Street. Our pick this week comes off the menu, appropriately named “Rocco With Two C’s.” Stop in for the bar’s daily happy hour and try this–or any other $7 specialty cocktail–and an assortment of delicious wood-fired pizzas.
The star of Rocco’s namesake cocktail is all the fresh thyme. The gin and ginger–laced with more candied ginger–doesn’t hurt either.
