A New York bar run by two Irish men has officially been awarded the world’s best bar.

Jack McGarry and Sean Mulddon from Belfast run the Dead Rabbit bar on Water Street in New York’s Financial District and have been since the bar opened in 2013.

And this week they have received the ultimate honour by being awarded the highly prestigious Spirited Award for the world’s best bar.

But this is by no means the first award for the Irish duo. They also won the world’s best bar and best cocktail menu this year, to go along with last year’s awards for best American cocktail bar and best drinks selection in 2014.

In 2013 the Dead Rabbit won the world’s best new cocktail bar and best cocktail menu, while Sean McGarry took home the international bartender of the year award.

The guys thanked everyone for their support saying, “This is the culmination of all the work that so many have participated in. Our thanks go out to everyone in our community who has made this possible.”

Safe to say we know where the first place we’ll be going on the next trip to New York is!

Chrissy Teigen is never one to shy away from controversial topics – and yesterday’s tragic shootings in Canada were no exception.

The model has been receiving death threats and violent tweets on social media after she wrote: “active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday.”

Many people replied to Chrissy with anger, pointing out that her tweet was not at all funny and incredibly insensitive: “thanks for the neighbourly love in this time of pain in Canada. Acts of terror are not funny.”

Another annoyed followers tweeted: “celebrities, remember you are in the eye of the hurricane what you post on social media will be scrutinized.”

However, Chrissy is standing her ground with the controversial tweet, claiming it was aimed at America’s lack of gun control, not minimising the tragedy in Canada. 

The model also shared a screenshot of some of the shockingly violent tweets she has received since making the comment.

It doesn't sound as if the model has any intention of backing down anytime soon – but should she?

Planning on heading to the States this summer? Why not make it a little different by backpacking around for a few days

Big Bend National Park, Texas
This 30 mile gorgeous park is pretty secluded from tourists and is full of mountains, woodlands and arroyos. The trail is pretty rugged but you’ll experience sunsets and night skies that you would never have imagined existed.

Mahoosuc Mountains, Maine
This is a 40 mile trail around Grafton Notch and you will be introduced to peaks, swimming holes and granite walls. You might even bump into a moose.

Appalachian Trail, Georgia to Maine
This is the longest trail in America so is a must see if you are a keen hiker. It spans 3,505km and goes through six national parks and eight forests. This is for the professional, so if you just fancy a nice walk with pretty views avoid it at all costs!

There is nothing quite like sitting back and watching the sunrise as you sit on a beach with a comfy blanket wrapped around you. While all sunrises are beautiful, here are three places where you are guaranteed to go “wow”!

Mount Fuji, Japan
Watching the sunrise as you sit on the summit of Japan’s highest mountain definitely makes it worth the climb to the top. Don’t forget to bring your camera as you will never be able to match a scene like this one.

Bryce Canyon, America
Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah has a special sunrise point where you are guaranteed to be treated to spectacular morning views. Summer or winter, you will be treated to an epic view as the sunlight turns the rock a glowing orange.

Uluru, Australia
Uluru or Ayers Rock as it is also known as is one of Australia’s most stunning natural wonders and as the sun rises up illuminating it in light, you will be glad you made the 4 am trek.
