The Menu

Welcome to Jaywalker at New York Distilling Company. Through the big windows to the west sits Bernadette, the bespoke copper still where we make our New York rye and gin. Cocktails by Jane Danger (@janedangersays) and Jamie Gordon (@hangoverdiary). Flavors and ingredients organize the menu into the New York essentials we hold dear: the Bar, the Bodega, the Greenmarket, and the Flower Shop.
