Hot winter beverages?
I keep coming up with Brooklyn options, but none for Manhattan.
Who makes a good warm seasonal drink?
It doesn't have to be alcohol based although that would be my preference. There must be somewhere to get a Hot Toddy without the Lipton aftertaste. I'm also not terribly interested in hot chocolate, unless there's a fresh seasonal spin to it. If possible, please include prices. Looking forward to all the suggestions. Thanks.

Remembered reading about this last year; have not had a chance to make it there and try it out yet, so can't say whether these are truly great drinks or whether it's more fluff than substance. Definitely something that seems like it belongs in wd-50 or something:

Lipton aftertaste? Far as I know, a toddy is just whiskey and hot water with lemon, cloves, and maybe a cinnamon stick. I've had it most recently at Tavern on Jane in Manhattan and at the Waterfront Ale House in Bklyn, but any bartender should be able to make it.
