Takuma Watanabe's martini temple in a historic Gramercy carriage house — three Japanese-influenced levels, ranked #24 on the World's 50 Best Bars in 2024, from a bartender who spent eight years at Angel's Share before opening his own. The Grand Martini is the signature: gin, sherry, port, and cognac with a grape. The Japanese-whisky cocktails honor his Tokyo roots and the classics are precise. It opens at 6pm most nights; the multi-level space runs from an intimate upstairs to a buzzing bar level. Named for the sculptor Philip Martiny who worked in this 1800s building, it pairs Gramercy elegance with world-class craft.
