The Time New York Hotel is teaming up with famed whiskey connoisseur Rachna Hukmani to bring her well-known “Whiskey Stories” series to life at the property. The event series, which will be known as “Take the Time” kicks off just in time for Father’s Day on Sunday, June 17^th and runs through the end of 2018.  Each event will feature flights of hand-selected whiskeys along with unique food + flavor pairings. To give guests a full sensorial experience each event is also paired with an artist talent.

“Time New York is consistently seeking ways to create distinct, new experiences available to our guests,” says Kanvar Singh, Area Managing Director at The Time New York Hotel. “Our partnership with Rachna and Whiskey Stories allows us to bring memorable evening events to our guests in a way we have not done so before.”

The inaugural Whiskey Story in the Take the Time Series will feature six whiskeys – each paired with a food item and four of them with a comedian telling hilarious dad jokes and stories.

“I am delighted to be given the opportunity to host Whiskey Stories at The Time New York,” says Rachna Hukmani, owner and founder of Whiskey Stories LLC. “My in-depth experience in the world of Whiskey has given me the knowledge to create an assortment of programs that will resonate with guests of the hotel and local residents in the area.”
