Festive, boozy and authentic, this Oktoberfest brings Munich riverside.

5. Tequila vs Mezcal School
The Study at Astor Center (East Village)
Monday, Sept. 26 from 6:30-8:30pm
Though we love tequila and mezcal, we’d hard pressed to tell you the difference between the two. The Agave Smackdown: Tequila vs Mezcal is comparative taste tasting class that will familiarize us with “the history, production methods, and flavor profiles of tequila and mezcal…” Tickets $79.
