Schiller's Liquor Bar -
131 Rivington St - New York (Lower East Side)
Report this commentOne of my favorite drinks at Schiller's is the Country Time -- which has freshly muddled strawberries, vodka and lemonade. These go down pretty smoothly, which is a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.
