Emily Blunt is an international jetsetter, so when she reveals her favorite spot in New York, we perk our ears up. 

During the red carpet of the American Institute for Stuttering's 19th Annual Gala in New York City on June 10, the actress spilled the beans exclusively to HELLO! - and it has a surprising connection to Taylor Swift.

The mom-of-two was hesitant at first when asked about her "favorite spot in New York City," responding: "Oh God, but then I'm gonna tell you my favorite bar and then everyone might take my spot. No, I can't."

But she eventually opened up, admitting: "There's this amazing bar that I went to recently and the name alone is incredible. It's called Sip and Guzzle." 

We couldn't agree more — just the name itself intrigued us to find out more about her secret hanging out spot and what makes it so special.

Sip and Guzzle is right next door to Taylor Swift's Cornelia Street apartment, where she stayed in 2016 during renovations on her own New York City apartment. She wrote the 2019 song "Cornelia Street" from the Lover album about falling in love with Joe Alwyn while living there.

"And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends / I'd never walk Cornelia Street again," she sings.

Emily continued: "They do gorgeous little wonderful little snacky foods and the cocktails are insane." 

The actress' helpful description sold us for our next night out, however, Emily concluded by warning: "Don't take my spot."

Emily explained what makes the restaurant so special

Sip and Guzzle blends Japanese and American influences, and it was inspired by the samurais who regularly frequented the popular Jerry Thomas bar in the 1860s, where they were presented the special recipe that was created specifically for the Japanese diplomat, Tateishi Onojirou Noriyuki. 

The restaurant's website explained: "[Sip and Guzzle] imagines if the samurai did open that bar and took everything they learned — the best of New York and Tokyo and came back to where it all started."

Sip and Guzzle has unique menu offerings such as mochi French fries

Sip and Guzzle's menu has unique offerings, such as mochi French fries and soft serves, and even has the option to "make it a happy meal."

The restaurant states that its "a fine place to sip or guzzle," and looks like Emily wholeheartedly agrees, and we're in.
