New York Distilling Company’s new cocktail bar Jaywalker debuted inside its Brooklyn home base on Thursday, June 11. The star of the show is its eponymous Jaywalk Rye, the distillery’s whiskey created from a revived 17th-century variety of New York rye, plus cocktails from beverage veteran Jamie Gordon. And affordable, at that, with $12 Manhattans and martinis, frozens, and a rye egg cream cocktail. Brooklyn restaurant Kings Co Imperial offers a modern Chinese menu fit for sharing. The 3,000-square-foot industrial setup put together by design firm Contagious is giving Brooklyn artist loft vibes via copper stills and oversized murals. 573 Johnson Avenue, at Gardner Avenue, Brooklyn
