Edible Manhattan Bar Guide

 

Here’s a revelation: We need not limit Champagne to celebratory contexts. Its crisp flavor and impeccable pairing potential makes Champagne an every-occasion-drink. Lucky for us, a number of bars across the city are serving the best of the best sparkling wine: Moët & Chandon, the world’s most loved Champagne for 270 years and counting. Keep up with our guide as we share bars around the city that serve this renowned French wine plus exclusive cocktail recipes that call for Moët & Chandon.
