Sam Bail was feeling better. So much better that two months into her sobriety experiment, she knew she wasn’t going back to drinking alcohol. But she missed her softball team, and all the other relationships she made at her local watering hole—her “third place,” where she socialized when not at work or at home in a tiny apartment. And this is New York. In a city that has everything, was nursing a seltzer all night really Sam’s only option?

The gustatory glory of multicultural NYC has been food writer Giulia Álvarez-Katz's stomping ground for as long as she can remember. Rose Thomas dusts off her mixology skills with a custom Third Place cocktail in honor of Giulia's video series about the places where New Yorkers loiter, shoot the shit and congregate. RT and Giulia discuss the process, if any, of becoming a New Yorker. Giulia dishes on: Her favorite takeout. Breaking up at the bar. Experts. Accent shaming. The unofficial official cocktail of NYC. What it's like for the children of immigrants to learn the older generation's languages—or not. What drink to pair with zebra cakes from the deli. And which liquids to never, under any circumstances, transport on the subway. Follow Giulia's Third Space video series: instagram.com/giulia__ak Also: tiktok.com/@giulia_ak
