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

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

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.

Duke's Martini at Chelsea Hotel is $31

I just read the article, and was tickled to see this video while scrolling through KZread. 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.

I LOVE this tour!

Beautiful piece. Now I want a Martinez!

This is my next NYC tour, definitely 🎉!

More of this please! 🍸

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].

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

High praise for Monkey 47!

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

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

that was wonderfulllllllllll

The Polo Bar has some fantastic martinis

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

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

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

Dababy just randomly pulling up 😂😂😂

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

What were you drinking at 1:30?

He’s like a drunk jeff bloom

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

Does Shteyngart always look smashed?

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

Dedication to research...🫡

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 a vicarious drunk

Six martini's Gary! ?????? That Russian liver comes through.

Welp we got a case study of a drinking problem longitudinally

Yes, but pretty short for a longitudinal study.

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

Amor Towles at Chelsea Hotel :D How cliche

True, but he's a great writer. I'm reading one of his books now.

he looks like a martini

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.

no one gives a sh*t

What a perfectly tone deaf video for a nation on the edge of a depression.

What a horrible video.
