#Voices: 7 food and drink flights in Cola (that aren’t beer)

Let’s talk about flights. We all know about the beer flight, an ingenious invention for indecisive people like me, who prefer to taste test unfamiliar beers before committing to a full pint. Well, I’m here to tell you that there is a whole world of flights beyond beer happening in Columbia. From bourbon to coffee to fries, here are 7 flights to put on your radar. ⬇

Margarita flight at Publico | 2013 Greene St.

Flights are an easy way to try something new and broaden your flavor horizons. I mean, why pick just one of something when you can have three or four? Plus, I personally love the cute little cups the coffee flights come in at Curiosity Coffee Bar.

Did I miss your favorite flight? Let us know.

Honorary mention to the wine flights at Lula Drake, The Aristocrat, Kaminsky’s… We could go on. Is Cola a flight town?

Whatever you choose, be ready to be delighted by the unexpected.
