Shteyngart's liver is the true hero of this story!

His advice at the end….priceless. 😂

The fun part is when the martini inspires you to do more drugs

This is my favorite New Yorker video since that one about the messy book store

Here are the prices I found online: 1) Chelsea Hotel: no price given 2) Gotham: all cocktails are $21 3) Le Rock: all cocktails are $22 4) Tigre: no prices given (or anything else, not even an address) 5) Sunken Harbor: all martinis are $20 6) Dante: $20 7) Bemelman's Bar: $35-$65 8) Aretsky's Patroon: $19 (I realized I missed one, but Shteyngart's voice was so slurred when he said the name of the bar and, unlike all the other bars, there was no sign shown.)

Thank you, I was wondering and guessing 20-30 bucks.

Will forever be a fan of Gary after watching his episode of Talking Watches on Hodinkee. Chin chin!

I just read the article, and was tickled to see this video while scrolling through KZfaq. I’ve never been a martini drinker, but this has made me want to be. I had no idea there were so many iterations of the stories drink.

Wow, what did Kieran do to get a drink thrown at him?! Lmao

@ameliaroy222 Ай бұрын

he made cheeky remarks about her age and went a step too far! it was all in jest though, he tells the story in a really entertaining way during his Stephen Colbert interview

High praise for Monkey 47!

@ValdezJu Ай бұрын

I wish you had included the prices (one martini, tax and tip) at the various bars you visited [for those of us not employed by The New Yorker].

@WackiiJackii Ай бұрын

New Yorker here who loves martinis - a $16 martini in Manhattan is a deal, $22-28 is more likely price.

Respect! I have one vesper Martini and that is enough! 😂

In the best way possible this feels like it was shot and edited in 2005 like some long lost Bourdain segment

The Polo Bar has some fantastic martinis

I'm glad that he skipped over some of the best Brooklyn cocktail bars. They are crowded enough on Fridays and Saturdays without the boring Manhattan lawyer-doctor crowd braving the subway ride over.

What’s the gin in the dark blue bottle at 6:00? The one he said he would drink on the rocks. Thank you!

Martinis are strong cocktails. They were most likely intoxicated as I would be too if I tested samples

Monkey 47 is the best gin of all time. Don’t come for me 😮

If you like dry - minetta is great. Maybe it was the bartender that night. They have more to offer than the burger!

just goes to prove, the streaming tv execs are asleep at the wheel considering Gary doesn't have a food & whine show yet.

I'm confused by the salt water solution? Why? How much? This seems like critical information for the Dukes martini, please help!

Shytengart has a smirk begging for a smack. He’s a one schtick writer.

Noted. Do 1 bar and 1 martini instead of 2 bars. Nothing can go wrong

Welp we got a case study of a drinking problem longitudinally

Yes, but pretty short for a longitudinal study.

As a New Yorker (and reader of) and an avid Martini drinker, I wish this was a better piece. Drunk or not, if you’re exploring or honoring the Martini, you should have spent a few more beats at Bemelman’s. More shtick than substance.
