Top shelf bourbon, whiskey, rum and gin from New Jersey and NY grains - fermented, distilled and barreled right on site in Clifton. The millet bourbon and rum cask bourbon are favorites, and I really like their citrusy gin. They do a rotating menu of creative cocktails to showcase their liquor - oddly enough the tasting room has become my favorite neighborhood cocktail spot. The owners are a lot of fun, and we always learn something chatting with them about the process and the business of distilling. Definitely worth a visit.

This is not a tourism-worthy spot. I think some of the reviews here are for the Financial District in general. This plaza is just a small public space - a nice, quiet place to sit and eat your lunch. Granite benches, a lovely "waterfall" fountain, a cool abstract sculpture. Sometimes homeless people. Cool-ish spot to escape the summer sun. Not a point of interest to hit in your New York adventure - the famous Bull is the other end of Wall Street.
