"The Algonquin’s bar is the stuff of New York City legend and lore. The blue-lit bar opened in 1933 and remained packed through the swinging 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. Real legends like James Dean and Elle Fitzgerald often sidled up to Blue Bar as did fictional ones like Don Draper — it was one of the ad legend’s favorite spots on Mad Men. For the deep-pocketed, a $10,000 Martini is made any way you like and garnished with a single loose diamond. (Though, it needs to be ordered at least 72 hours in advance.)" - Kate Dingwall
