"It's no surprise that Dry Martini is considered a temple to its namesake cocktail. In the middle of the bar, a bartender stands on a raised pedestal when preparing each Martini; meanwhile, an electronic counter displays the number of Martinis that have been made throughout the bar's history. (For the record, we ordered No. 1,077,209.) Don't bother with the newfangled cocktails—you're not here for a shiso mojito or a (gulp) cherry Martini." - Isabelle Kliger, Naren Young
