Where To Watch The 3rd Presidential Debate In NYC
The final Presidential debate takes place on October 19 at 9 p.m. and plenty of bars in NYC are gearing up for an explosive night. Here are five places that are celebrating with drink specials, politically-curated cocktails, and more. By Carly Petrone.
The Ainsworth

Debate Night NYC: Clinton, Trump-Inspired Dishes, Drinks For Election 2016
The Ainsworth understands just how stressful this election has been. Stop in to watch the final debate and sip on the "The Hill Yes, "I'm with Her," "Art of the Deal," and the "D-Nald" cocktails. The "I'm With Her" is simply vodka or gin with an olive or citrus twist. If you're in the mood for something with a bit of a bite then order "The Hill Yes!" This creation is made with Bullleit Rye, Campari, orange juice, simple syrup, lemon, and Angostura bitters. "The Art of the Deal" is classic, boozy, and all business. This one is made with Crown Royale Rye, sweet vermouth, and a few dashes of orange bitters. Finally, "The D-Nald" or "Firestarter" will certainly get the crowd going. It's simply Fireball whiskey and root beer with whipped cream, cinnamon, and orange zest.
