About our partners:
AUBI & RAMSA: Suzanne Buenfil and Rafael Ramsa got into the ice cream business 12 years ago, while living in California. From a small plant, they were both in the retail and wholesale side of the business. Since the beginning they started creating unique flavors, and exploring the use of liquor in ice cream. The interest in alcohol infused ice cream took all of their attention, and they continued focusing solely in perfecting a formula that would make both the liquor and the ice cream protagonists, creating a novelty like no other.
Albany Distilling Company: The Albany Distilling Company was founded in early 2011 and commenced operations in July of the following year. Our first product was whiskey. We started with a bourbon mash, releasing it first as a new make and eventually as a three-month-old bourbon. Our next product was an unaged rum inspired by our proximity to Albany’s original 18th century distillery and followed a recipe from that era. Over the next several years, we expanded our offerings to include more whiskeys and a range of spirits including products created in collaboration with other small local businesses such as Nine Pin Ciderworks and Death Wish Coffee. Owners John Curtin and Richard Sicari, along with our small but extremely talented staff, are committed to making high-quality spirits one small batch at a time.
When you think of fall, country landscapes probably come to mind. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, leaf peeping — such autumnal pleasures are stereotypically rural pursuits. But don’t rule out urban settings for fall fun this season. For those visiting us in New York this season, The James NoMad can guide you to plenty of activities without ever having to leave the city. Here are just a few outside-the-box ideas for enjoying autumn in New York.
Julian Fellowes’ HBO period drama “The Gilded Age” takes us back to the splendor and struggles of turn-of-the-century New York, but sometimes it’s hard to imagine our beloved city during those times.
