Sam Anderson is the mixology talent behind drinks at some of our favorite Brooklyn and downtown watering holes — Hotel Delmano, Freemans, Fig. 19 — and now we hear he’s bringing his magic touch to Murray Hill. The Pod 39 hotel is rolling out a rooftop in September featuring a selection of Anderson’s quaffs. Cocktails like Sandita Trio (silver tequila, sangrita verde, watermelon cubes, and chile salt) sound a whole lot better than most of the midtown-hotel drinking we’re used to. See an extended drinks lineup below.
