My family and I had the pleasure of finally making our trip to New York City post pandemic shut down two weeks ago. One of the restaurants just opened last year. Peak in Hudson Yards is officially my number one favorite restaurant in New York City. It is located in the building’s 101st floor and boasts views to die for. If you’re fearful of heights, as I am, you’ll find the courage to make it here. We opened up our evening with a cocktail unlike anything we have ever tried before, The Bees Knees Cocktail. It is an unsuspectingly earthy and delicious cocktail featuring pomegranate and beet juice.
