Wanting to experience the most awarded distillery in the world? No need to worry about flights, hotels, or designated drivers, Jameson Irish Whiskey has packed up the whole distillery and brought it to NYC’s vast Hudson Yards.

The three-part journey explores the Irish whiskey’s legendary story, with its triple-distillation process and signature smooth taste. The immersive experience is meant to be organic in character and social in spirit, offering dedicated space for friends and strangers to share in an exploration of Jameson’s heritage and history. Further, Jameson is putting its support behind the local busking community by covering the cost of up to 1,000 permits for New York City entertainers through its “Busk on Us” program. Busking is a shared tradition for both New York City and Dublin.
In fact, earlier in the week, celebrated musician Dermot Kennedy returned to his busking roots by singing his breakthrough hits as well as songs from his upcoming second album, “Sonder,” out November 4on Island Records/Interscope. Busking musicians will continue to perform throughout the week as the celebrations continue.
