From the folks that blessed New York with Dead Rabbit, this leafy, cuban themed watering hole is a city staple.

They’ll also be serving a new drink called the Café Cooler, made with Havana Club Anejo Classico, Amaro Cio Ciaro, coffee, Angostura Bitters and Half & Half.

What’s a list of New York City bars without a rooftop? Atop the hotel by the same name, Refinery Rooftop is celebrating National Rum Day on Friday. But waiting a day might pay off because in collaboration with the Tipsy Scoop, the bar is giving away free piña colada strawberry daiquiri swirl sundaes — with an extra splash of Malibu rum — to the first 50 people to arrive after 5 p.m.
