Your Host
Karl Williams
Owner and Head Barman, 67 Orange Street
Karl Franz Williams grew up in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. After studying electrical engineering at Yale, he joined PepsiCo's innovation and beverage development team but frequently found himself consulting with mixologists instead of scientists. In 2008, he translated this newfound love and respect for well-crafted cocktails into 67 Orange Street, the follow-up to his pioneering Society Coffee.
Where You'll Meet
Although 67 Orange Street isn't actually this bar's address, it does refer to that of another bar—Almack's, the famous black-owned music hall where dance-offs between Irish and African American patrons birthed tap dance in the 1840s. And 67 Orange Street takes more than its inspiration's name. The New York Times describes this Zagat-rated cocktail lounge as "a seductively dark den," and the Village Voice calls it a "cozy, vintage-inspired speakeasy" with "cocktails that evoke the spirit of Harlem."
