Best Martini in Manhattan?

[condorlover1]

The Old King Cole bar in the St Regis knocks out a great Martini as did the Plaza Oak Room in the old days. After all this wonderful input on food who in your opinion makes the best Martini in Manhattan and coming over to my place does not count!

The Carlyle Hotel.

Yes you are right. I had forgotten about that one and it is a mere four blocks from my own home.

Amor y Amargo. I've never been but I've heard a lot of great stuff. It'll be my first stop when I see NY.

Is there a Palm restaurant in NY? I know there was one in DC, and also in LA. My wife and I used to got to the one in LA and they had the best martinis we've ever had. (outside of the ones we made ourselves). Great steaks and lobster too!

Man, now I'm hungry.... :wink:

I may be wrong, but I believe I make the best martini. Best I have tasted, anyway. The secret is Plymouth English Gin. Add just a few drops of Martini & Rossi and a large olive with pimento and serve over ice. Then have a few more. The very small amount of salt on the olive is an important ingredient.

agnosticpipe, there are 2 Palm's in New York on 2nd Ave. I believe they are the original 2 in the chain. It's been many years since I've been to them but I recall that they are across the street from each other. Odd but that's New York.
