Middle Branch Has A New Recipe For A Murray Hill Bar

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• Sasha Petraske, the late mixologist behind Milk & Honey, brought the downtown speakeasy to Midtown East with Middle Branch, a bi-level cocktail bar
• The Whiskey Fix (bourbon, lemon, and simple syrup) and the Bennett (gin, lime, simple syrup, and angostura bitters) are two of the most popular drinks ordered, but let the bartenders make you something more interesting with the Bartender’s Choice
• The bar is unmarked and you can’t see inside from the street. Unlike much of the rest of Murray Hill, Middle Branch is a quiet lounge to get a well-made drink, and the Turtle Bay crowd will be out of place
