When it comes to mixology, Jeff Bell is a rock star. “America’s Best Bartender” exclaimed a headline in the Daily Beast last fall — and that’s on top of the countless other awards and features that hail his creative wizardry behind the bar. A veteran of PDT on St. Marks Place in New York, he’s now consulting at the buzzy new joint, Legacy Records, by Hudson Yards on the West Side. Here, tour the spot — beautifully decorated by famed interior designer Ken Fulk — and get the special recipes for three of Bell’s exclusive libations there.
