NEW YORK (Reuters) — Drinkers might want to keep a clear head when ordering a martini at New York’s historic Algonquin Hotel or they might pay $10,000 for that cold sip.
The landmark hotel, where famed wit Dorothy Parker and fellow literary lights at the Round Table imbibed, offers a $10,000 martini, complete with a loose diamond at the bottom.
No one has ordered one yet, in the martini’s first week on the menu, but the hotel hopes some romantic soul will buy one any day now.
“We haven’t had any buyers yet, but a lot of people are talking about it,” said Anthony Melchiorri, the hotel’s general manager, on Wednesday.
