Great for a quick bite near the metro. Grabbed a quick crepe, panini, sandwich.... Surprisingly, they wanted us to come inside & order the same thing again from the table for twice the price. We went back to the window and ordered again our quick snack, we were surprised that the crepes were pre made not fresh. We sat across the street on a park bench enjoying it.

Service is stellar. A real chef making fresh plats du jour, homemade pasta and consistently delicious dishes. Don't miss the lasagne and the house made cocoa rhum. Lots to see here on a busy corner with abundant outdoor seating. They couldn't be more friendly! A+++

Located in a very easily accessible part of Paris, we were walking around late after exploring the Louvre area looking for something easy and we found this. There was ample space outside on the terrace which was what we were looking for as tourists in Paris. We ordered a cheese board to share which came with ample cheese selections and their escargot was beyond amazing. Main dishes did not disappoint and were plentiful. The price was reasonable and the ambiance was what we were looking for. Would come back!

We stopped by La Tour Maubourg to wait out the rain. We ordered a beer, an espresso, and a Nutella crepe to share. It was during an off-hour (late afternoon), so the restaurant was relatively empty, and the waitress was having her own lunch. It was a nice spot to sit and wait out the rain.

I'm giving this restaurant one star because none isn't an option. Lots of options on the menu, but had no paninis or pancakes the day we went. So we settled for an open sandwich and promptly found a hair in it when we started to eat. We ate around it, only to have a mouse run by our sight of view. That was enough for us to decide that cleanliness was not a priority at this restaurant and decided to leave. Unfortunately this must be a regular occurrence because the waitress was unphased by the hair or the mouse and still required we pay our tab. I would never go back and do not recommend.

To be fair, I am not a fan of cheese. Otherwise, I may give it 4 stars. However, I did not lower the rating for the "uncomfortable" seats that we had - a small table on a rainy day. The food was okay and the service was good. We had our lunch there but could not finish all the cheeses.

A great experience. Our waiter was so friendly and welcoming. We arrived after walking from Les Invalides and were hungry and thirsty. It was about 1 pm. Just found out our waiter was Luis. He was also multilingual, speaking Spanish to the Spanish-speaking patrons, English to use, and of course, French. My ham and cheese sandwich on a baguette was exactly what I wanted. Why can no one in America make a good baguette. I am very happy. Prices were reasonable as well.

We stopped for just 1 bottle of wine before heading to the Eiffel Tower. Only 1 waiter for inside and outside the restaurant who somehow managed to provide great service! 2 bottles of wine, crepes and a Castilian band later, we left fully satisfied and content.

Everything was wrong from the moment we entered. It was starting to drizzle and we were tired from exploring the city. We went inside instead of eating outdoors - 1st sign it smelled like a sewer inside. We decided to overlook it and ordered to beers. One of the beers had a thick film (hopefully malt) that made us both feel really uneasy. Minutes after ordering the meals the food was brought out. My friend had the plate full hour which was made of beef and mashed potatoes, all of the "beef" was mostly nerves and inedible. My friend tried her best to separate the meat but then during one of the chews she bit into something hard (hopefully we think it's plastic but she said it reminded her of a tooth) we told our waitress again and she proceeded to bring us our check. We didn't argue and paid for 2 meals one which was barely touched and mine that I was forcing down bc I was hungry but regret it now.

Hopefully just a hard piece of plastic found inside the meat found during chewing.

Directly across the street from our hotel, Cafe Latour Maubourg ( Brasserie LM ) provided a fantastic breakfast to help fuel us for a busy day of sightseeing Trying out my less than remedial French, we muddled through our order of cheese omelets & lattes Sitting outside on our sunny morning, it was nice to watch the people walking by, the vendors greeting each other as they were rushing off to their shops & other local diners enjoying their fare Omelets were among the best I've ever had - nice buttery, with a caramely-browned, outside & stringy pulls of cheese at each bite. The eggs were fluffy & extremely tasty & the ratio of cheese to egg was just perfect Accompanied a side salad and the best tangy dressing - it was the perfect pairing for our omelet Coffees were milky & strong & hit the spot Also saw a little window on the side of the building offering sandwiches for takeaway ( not sure if it was the same restaurant but it looked like it was ) & there was a line.....which is always a good indicator it's delish Would make this a repeat visit & would love to check out their dinner options when next in the area

Michelin guide’s point of view.

It is no secret that Italians have great taste. Milanese chef Alberico Penati has set up shop in this chic bistro with honey-coloured wood panelling, and bay windows overlooking the garden of the Invalides – a highly prized location indeed! Tradition is the chef's passion. With no concessions to passing fashions, his menu features a selection of Italian classics made out of carefully selected ingredients. Home-made pasta remains the forte of this place, eg ravioli del plin piemontesi with a very good roast beef jus. The 100% Italian wine list highlights Piedmontese wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco.

La Tour Maubourg

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Went here with my girlfriend. I ate a steak and she a hamburger. My steak was served perfectly. The hamburger was a bit dull to eat but ok for being Paris I would say. The waiter working there during our lunch was extremely polite and... helpful. That made the experience even better. Would revisit the restaurant if get the chance. More

We stopped for dinner. The place looked very nice. The staff was very friendly. We got our food and drinks in a decent amount of time. The only problem was that my chicken was undercooked. I felt grossed out when I realized it wasn’t cooked... all the way and just left it. The other dishes had no flavor. More

tour maubourg restaurant

Average experience. Because of its location this is very touristic place so I do not thing they aim to excel at food. It is a good place if you want to eat something right now, if not look for something else as food is quite... average. More

The server gave us the wrong food and then made us feel like we were in the wrong when it came and we asked for our correct order. Calamari is deep fried and very processed. Dessert was stale. Waste of an evening in Paris.

We came here last year with family and really enjoyed it and wanted to return this year. But the special for the day was steak salad and mashed potatoes. I was a little nervous about ordering steak because I was concerned it would be tough.... This is not a steakhouse after all. But the steak was tender and juicy and done, perfectly medium rare as I had asked. I was very pleased. My husband had vegetable lasagna and said it was very good. The restaurant was packed with people, including many locals. Our server was very friendly and accommodating.. We plan to go back tomorrow night. More

tour maubourg restaurant

As I was running some errands, my husband stopped at La Tour Maubourg Brasserie for a happy hour beer. He ordered a beer, to which the server suggested he get a 1664, which was supposed to be €6.50. When my husband went to pay, the... gentleman charged him €10.80 and insisted that he had been given a different beer, that was conveniently not on the happy hour menu. When I reiterated that my husband had ordered, and received a 1664, the employee continued to lie right to our faces, despite the fact that he had been the one to suggest a 1664 in the first place!! We are in Paris regularly, and my husband knows the difference between a 1664, and other beers. There are a million other wonderful cafes, run by honest proprietors - stay away from this one. Scammers! More

The coffee with milk was one of the worst I had ever drunk. Just water tasting of coffee with foam (not sure it was milk on top) . The service was rude but the crepe was good. The ice cream very average and came melted.

We had a bad experience at this restaurant. Had the most rude waitress that pretty much ruined our meal. We couldn’t decide if she hated Americans in general or just hated us! The food wasn’t bad, but her ignoring us completely with dirty looks and... all(from the time we sat down), wasn’t pleasant. There are SO many great restaurants in Paris, I would definitely skip this one. More

I had steak here and could not eat it! It was like chewing through a spider web of hard fat. Literally could not cut it! Sadly not knowing good enough french and our waitress not knowing much english, i didnt feel i could complain. Ate... the edges and just the chips and went home hungry as didnt want to give them any more money by ordering pudding. There was also a large man who might of been a manager looming over us making us feel uncomfortable and watching the tv screen next to us. More

To start off in all fairness the waiter was nice and we did have adequate wine and cheese (2 thing they can't screw up) But when it came to the food all I can say is it was an offense to the legendary reputation of... French food everywhere! The French Onion soup was horrid!!!! The soup was f****** greenish-yellow! It was so bad that we barely even touched it. I looked like someone with a urinary tract infection peed in the bowl. It tasted so bad that it makes cheap canned soup taste gourmet. Then the steaks... or should I call them hockey pucks????? We all order the steaks which to start off were small. They were all ordered medium rare, but were so over done that a steak knifes could barely cut them! It was also bland, if no one told me I couldn't have even guessed that it was steak. The steaks did come with a pepper corn sauce on the side, but it looked and tasted putrid. Also the steaks were extremely fatty. ( I attached photos of the steak and sauce) So for 3 steaks 2 soups 3 glasses of wine and some cheese we paid 110 euros or about $160. All I can say is don't waste your time More

tour maubourg restaurant

This place exists to serve tourists (I saw no French people eating there), and it's clear the management has a low opinion of its clientele's tastes. Do yourself a favor and give this place a miss. We went in for breakfast, and ordered the typical... continental breakfast: coffee, croissant, bread, butter, jam, orange juice. The coffee was so-so, the baked goods likewise but presented with no care, just dumped on a plate and plopped down in front of us. The jam was very inferior, the kind that's a sticky, over sweet goo made of corn syrup, food coloring, and artificial flavoring. Everywhere else we had orange juice in Paris, including the cafe directly across the street from this one, the orange juice was fresh-squeezed to order. Here, it was the nasty stuff that comes in a bottle, with added sugar, coloring, and artificial flavoring. The waiter was going to give us a glass of it that had been sitting on the counter, but he saw me watching and drank that one himself, pouring me a "fresh" glass. It probably wasn't any better than the stuff that had been sitting around. There are many places to eat in Paris. There's no reason to eat at this place no matter how hungry you are. More

I've been visiting this restaurant with my husband, friends and family. The menu has a lot to offer, and reasonably priced. The food were tasty, desserts were delicious, and the ambiance is great for a cafe. The menu are in both english and french, and... the waiter speaks english. Definitely a go for your introduction to french bistro food. More

tour maubourg restaurant

After getting a coffee and a hot chocolate, the owner asked us to leave as the restaurant part was starting (we were a group of 6 people) ...unpleasant but fair enough. However try to take a napkin in paper before to leave in order to... have one in your pocket for the cold weather. I was shouted at by the owner saying to me I have to ask and that they pay for this regular napkins. Maybe he had forgotten that we had just pay also for outpriced coffees and hot chocolates...Terrific when you try to show your city to a brazilian, an italian, an american and an english. More

Horribly rude staff and I could not pay by pin if you don’t spend 10 euro or more (is this the stoneage?) Go somewhere else

We visited by chance as we were hunting down an eatery close to Les Invalides. We found the service to be friendly and unpretentious and the food simple but delicious. This is not sophisticated dining, but a Brasserie which does what it says on the... tin, and does it well. An excellent experience all around. More

La Tour Maubourg

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Went here with my girlfriend. I ate a steak and she a hamburger. My steak was served perfectly. The hamburger was a bit dull to eat but ok for being Paris I would say. The waiter working there during our lunch was extremely polite and... helpful. That made the experience even better. Would revisit the restaurant if get the chance. More

We stopped for dinner. The place looked very nice. The staff was very friendly. We got our food and drinks in a decent amount of time. The only problem was that my chicken was undercooked. I felt grossed out when I realized it wasn’t cooked... all the way and just left it. The other dishes had no flavor. More

tour maubourg restaurant

Average experience. Because of its location this is very touristic place so I do not thing they aim to excel at food. It is a good place if you want to eat something right now, if not look for something else as food is quite... average. More

The server gave us the wrong food and then made us feel like we were in the wrong when it came and we asked for our correct order. Calamari is deep fried and very processed. Dessert was stale. Waste of an evening in Paris.

We came here last year with family and really enjoyed it and wanted to return this year. But the special for the day was steak salad and mashed potatoes. I was a little nervous about ordering steak because I was concerned it would be tough.... This is not a steakhouse after all. But the steak was tender and juicy and done, perfectly medium rare as I had asked. I was very pleased. My husband had vegetable lasagna and said it was very good. The restaurant was packed with people, including many locals. Our server was very friendly and accommodating.. We plan to go back tomorrow night. More

As I was running some errands, my husband stopped at La Tour Maubourg Brasserie for a happy hour beer. He ordered a beer, to which the server suggested he get a 1664, which was supposed to be €6.50. When my husband went to pay, the... gentleman charged him €10.80 and insisted that he had been given a different beer, that was conveniently not on the happy hour menu. When I reiterated that my husband had ordered, and received a 1664, the employee continued to lie right to our faces, despite the fact that he had been the one to suggest a 1664 in the first place!! We are in Paris regularly, and my husband knows the difference between a 1664, and other beers. There are a million other wonderful cafes, run by honest proprietors - stay away from this one. Scammers! More

The coffee with milk was one of the worst I had ever drunk. Just water tasting of coffee with foam (not sure it was milk on top) . The service was rude but the crepe was good. The ice cream very average and came melted.

We had a bad experience at this restaurant. Had the most rude waitress that pretty much ruined our meal. We couldn’t decide if she hated Americans in general or just hated us! The food wasn’t bad, but her ignoring us completely with dirty looks and... all(from the time we sat down), wasn’t pleasant. There are SO many great restaurants in Paris, I would definitely skip this one. More

I had steak here and could not eat it! It was like chewing through a spider web of hard fat. Literally could not cut it! Sadly not knowing good enough french and our waitress not knowing much english, i didnt feel i could complain. Ate... the edges and just the chips and went home hungry as didnt want to give them any more money by ordering pudding. There was also a large man who might of been a manager looming over us making us feel uncomfortable and watching the tv screen next to us. More

To start off in all fairness the waiter was nice and we did have adequate wine and cheese (2 thing they can't screw up) But when it came to the food all I can say is it was an offense to the legendary reputation of... French food everywhere! The French Onion soup was horrid!!!! The soup was f****** greenish-yellow! It was so bad that we barely even touched it. I looked like someone with a urinary tract infection peed in the bowl. It tasted so bad that it makes cheap canned soup taste gourmet. Then the steaks... or should I call them hockey pucks????? We all order the steaks which to start off were small. They were all ordered medium rare, but were so over done that a steak knifes could barely cut them! It was also bland, if no one told me I couldn't have even guessed that it was steak. The steaks did come with a pepper corn sauce on the side, but it looked and tasted putrid. Also the steaks were extremely fatty. ( I attached photos of the steak and sauce) So for 3 steaks 2 soups 3 glasses of wine and some cheese we paid 110 euros or about $160. All I can say is don't waste your time More

tour maubourg restaurant

This place exists to serve tourists (I saw no French people eating there), and it's clear the management has a low opinion of its clientele's tastes. Do yourself a favor and give this place a miss. We went in for breakfast, and ordered the typical... continental breakfast: coffee, croissant, bread, butter, jam, orange juice. The coffee was so-so, the baked goods likewise but presented with no care, just dumped on a plate and plopped down in front of us. The jam was very inferior, the kind that's a sticky, over sweet goo made of corn syrup, food coloring, and artificial flavoring. Everywhere else we had orange juice in Paris, including the cafe directly across the street from this one, the orange juice was fresh-squeezed to order. Here, it was the nasty stuff that comes in a bottle, with added sugar, coloring, and artificial flavoring. The waiter was going to give us a glass of it that had been sitting on the counter, but he saw me watching and drank that one himself, pouring me a "fresh" glass. It probably wasn't any better than the stuff that had been sitting around. There are many places to eat in Paris. There's no reason to eat at this place no matter how hungry you are. More

I've been visiting this restaurant with my husband, friends and family. The menu has a lot to offer, and reasonably priced. The food were tasty, desserts were delicious, and the ambiance is great for a cafe. The menu are in both english and french, and... the waiter speaks english. Definitely a go for your introduction to french bistro food. More

tour maubourg restaurant

After getting a coffee and a hot chocolate, the owner asked us to leave as the restaurant part was starting (we were a group of 6 people) ...unpleasant but fair enough. However try to take a napkin in paper before to leave in order to... have one in your pocket for the cold weather. I was shouted at by the owner saying to me I have to ask and that they pay for this regular napkins. Maybe he had forgotten that we had just pay also for outpriced coffees and hot chocolates...Terrific when you try to show your city to a brazilian, an italian, an american and an english. More

Horribly rude staff and I could not pay by pin if you don’t spend 10 euro or more (is this the stoneage?) Go somewhere else

We visited by chance as we were hunting down an eatery close to Les Invalides. We found the service to be friendly and unpretentious and the food simple but delicious. This is not sophisticated dining, but a Brasserie which does what it says on the... tin, and does it well. An excellent experience all around. More

Great cocktails and wine list. The food and service were also amazing. Would highly recommend. More info Fitzgerald €€€€ Price: Very Expensive • French • Gros-Caillou • 4.6
  • RS RayS vip San Francisco Bay Area • 19 reviews 5.0 Dined on Apr 15, 2024 Good restaurant overall. Food good and well presented. Service was reasonable. The place can be excessively noisy when full. Worse was when the waitresses started rearranging tables and chairs next to our table with no respect for the sitting guests.

La Tour Maubourg

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Went here with my girlfriend. I ate a steak and she a hamburger. My steak was served perfectly. The hamburger was a bit dull to eat but ok for being Paris I would say. The waiter working there during our lunch was extremely polite and... helpful. That made the experience even better. Would revisit the restaurant if get the chance. More

We stopped for dinner. The place looked very nice. The staff was very friendly. We got our food and drinks in a decent amount of time. The only problem was that my chicken was undercooked. I felt grossed out when I realized it wasn’t cooked... all the way and just left it. The other dishes had no flavor. More

tour maubourg restaurant

Average experience. Because of its location this is very touristic place so I do not thing they aim to excel at food. It is a good place if you want to eat something right now, if not look for something else as food is quite... average. More

The server gave us the wrong food and then made us feel like we were in the wrong when it came and we asked for our correct order. Calamari is deep fried and very processed. Dessert was stale. Waste of an evening in Paris.

We came here last year with family and really enjoyed it and wanted to return this year. But the special for the day was steak salad and mashed potatoes. I was a little nervous about ordering steak because I was concerned it would be tough.... This is not a steakhouse after all. But the steak was tender and juicy and done, perfectly medium rare as I had asked. I was very pleased. My husband had vegetable lasagna and said it was very good. The restaurant was packed with people, including many locals. Our server was very friendly and accommodating.. We plan to go back tomorrow night. More

As I was running some errands, my husband stopped at La Tour Maubourg Brasserie for a happy hour beer. He ordered a beer, to which the server suggested he get a 1664, which was supposed to be €6.50. When my husband went to pay, the... gentleman charged him €10.80 and insisted that he had been given a different beer, that was conveniently not on the happy hour menu. When I reiterated that my husband had ordered, and received a 1664, the employee continued to lie right to our faces, despite the fact that he had been the one to suggest a 1664 in the first place!! We are in Paris regularly, and my husband knows the difference between a 1664, and other beers. There are a million other wonderful cafes, run by honest proprietors - stay away from this one. Scammers! More

The coffee with milk was one of the worst I had ever drunk. Just water tasting of coffee with foam (not sure it was milk on top) . The service was rude but the crepe was good. The ice cream very average and came melted.

We had a bad experience at this restaurant. Had the most rude waitress that pretty much ruined our meal. We couldn’t decide if she hated Americans in general or just hated us! The food wasn’t bad, but her ignoring us completely with dirty looks and... all(from the time we sat down), wasn’t pleasant. There are SO many great restaurants in Paris, I would definitely skip this one. More

I had steak here and could not eat it! It was like chewing through a spider web of hard fat. Literally could not cut it! Sadly not knowing good enough french and our waitress not knowing much english, i didnt feel i could complain. Ate... the edges and just the chips and went home hungry as didnt want to give them any more money by ordering pudding. There was also a large man who might of been a manager looming over us making us feel uncomfortable and watching the tv screen next to us. More

To start off in all fairness the waiter was nice and we did have adequate wine and cheese (2 thing they can't screw up) But when it came to the food all I can say is it was an offense to the legendary reputation of... French food everywhere! The French Onion soup was horrid!!!! The soup was f****** greenish-yellow! It was so bad that we barely even touched it. I looked like someone with a urinary tract infection peed in the bowl. It tasted so bad that it makes cheap canned soup taste gourmet. Then the steaks... or should I call them hockey pucks????? We all order the steaks which to start off were small. They were all ordered medium rare, but were so over done that a steak knifes could barely cut them! It was also bland, if no one told me I couldn't have even guessed that it was steak. The steaks did come with a pepper corn sauce on the side, but it looked and tasted putrid. Also the steaks were extremely fatty. ( I attached photos of the steak and sauce) So for 3 steaks 2 soups 3 glasses of wine and some cheese we paid 110 euros or about $160. All I can say is don't waste your time More

tour maubourg restaurant

This place exists to serve tourists (I saw no French people eating there), and it's clear the management has a low opinion of its clientele's tastes. Do yourself a favor and give this place a miss. We went in for breakfast, and ordered the typical... continental breakfast: coffee, croissant, bread, butter, jam, orange juice. The coffee was so-so, the baked goods likewise but presented with no care, just dumped on a plate and plopped down in front of us. The jam was very inferior, the kind that's a sticky, over sweet goo made of corn syrup, food coloring, and artificial flavoring. Everywhere else we had orange juice in Paris, including the cafe directly across the street from this one, the orange juice was fresh-squeezed to order. Here, it was the nasty stuff that comes in a bottle, with added sugar, coloring, and artificial flavoring. The waiter was going to give us a glass of it that had been sitting on the counter, but he saw me watching and drank that one himself, pouring me a "fresh" glass. It probably wasn't any better than the stuff that had been sitting around. There are many places to eat in Paris. There's no reason to eat at this place no matter how hungry you are. More

I've been visiting this restaurant with my husband, friends and family. The menu has a lot to offer, and reasonably priced. The food were tasty, desserts were delicious, and the ambiance is great for a cafe. The menu are in both english and french, and... the waiter speaks english. Definitely a go for your introduction to french bistro food. More

tour maubourg restaurant

After getting a coffee and a hot chocolate, the owner asked us to leave as the restaurant part was starting (we were a group of 6 people) ...unpleasant but fair enough. However try to take a napkin in paper before to leave in order to... have one in your pocket for the cold weather. I was shouted at by the owner saying to me I have to ask and that they pay for this regular napkins. Maybe he had forgotten that we had just pay also for outpriced coffees and hot chocolates...Terrific when you try to show your city to a brazilian, an italian, an american and an english. More

Horribly rude staff and I could not pay by pin if you don’t spend 10 euro or more (is this the stoneage?) Go somewhere else

We visited by chance as we were hunting down an eatery close to Les Invalides. We found the service to be friendly and unpretentious and the food simple but delicious. This is not sophisticated dining, but a Brasserie which does what it says on the... tin, and does it well. An excellent experience all around. More

'Hometown hero' Emeril Lagasse makes surprise stops in Fall River. Here's why he was here.

FALL RIVER — It was just a typical Sunday for a few local eateries, then BAM! In walks one of Fall River's most famous former residents , celebrity chef and James Beard winner Emeril Lagasse.

"We were very loud on Sunday and it switched to murmurs really quickly," said Andrew Ferreira, co-owner of Europa Pastries and Coffee Shop , which received a surprise visit from Lagasse amid their morning rush.

The city native was in town doing research for his first Portuguese restaurant he plans to open in New Orleans late this summer. Research included a trip back to his roots for a culinary tour of popular Portuguese spots in the Providence, Fall River and New Bedford areas.

He and his Emeril Group team, which manages his 10 restaurants, flew in from New Orleans on Saturday, starting their tour at O Dinis in East Providence.

During his stop at O Dinis, Lagasse spoke to restaurant owner Natalia Paiva-Neves about growing up in Fall River and cooking Portuguese dishes with his mother, Miss Hilda. 

And on Sunday his entourage made their rounds in the Spindle City, which included at least two stops on Columbia Street.

"I froze when I finally registered that it was really him. I said 'This is not real, is it?'" said Ferreira, who said he did a double take upon catching Lagasse's reflection in the mirror as he went about his daily routine of preparing coffee.

A sweet start at Europa Pastries

While there, Ferreira said Lagasse educated his colleagues on Portuguese traditions and culture of the Fall River area. Ferreira, his sister Erica Couto and her husband, Kevin, then chatted with him about the pastries their bakery is most known for.

So it's no surprise Lagasse's Europa order included their award-winning pastel de nata, or Portuguese custard cup.

Report: Fall River's Emeril among world's most popular chefs. Where is he on the list?

According to Ferreira, Lagasse wasn't at Europa very long, taking his treats to go, but he made a lasting impression on staff and customers all the same.

"It was brief, but it was enough to be star-struck and in awe that he was here," said Ferreira, who grew up watching Lagasse's TV show "Emeril Live!" every day and emulating the city-born chef.

"He was super nice. Anyone that came up to him he would speak to," Ferreira said. " He's definitely considered a hometown hero for a lot of those people."

Taste of Portugal at Sagres

A bit further up the cobblestoned sidewalks of Columbia Street, Lagasse and his crew dined that same day at Sagres Restaurant, well-known for its upscale, authentic Portuguese cuisine.

Victor DaSilva and his brother Manuel Ferreira, co-owners of the decades-old city staple, got a heads up about a week ago about Lagasse's visit.

"Somebody called in a reservation for Emeril Lagasse and we thought it was a joke," said DaSilva, whose disbelief dissipated as Emeril's table of six walked in the door.

The superstar chef sought a sampling of traditional Portuguese food and wines, leaving it up to DaSilva and Ferreira to order up an array of their most-loved entrees and appetizers.

Lagasse's Luso buffet at Sagres included shrimp and littleneck appetizers, followed by grilled octopus, one of Sagres' best sellers.

The spread also featured two types of cod fish dishes — baked cod (bacalhau) and Bacalhau a Gomes de Sa — Carne de Porco a Alentejana (marinated pork sautéed with littlenecks and potatoes) and Sagres' signature sirloin steak, the best measure of any good Portuguese eatery.

As with any customer who comes into his restaurant, DaSilva said "you always worry about making sure everything goes right," but he wouldn't call the experience nerve-wracking.

"They were really cool, very nice people," said DaSilva, whose restaurant has recently drawn other familiar faces such as former Patriots players Rob Ninkovich and Matt Light. "They said they loved the food, they loved Fall River, they loved the people … and that they'd love to return."

After their meal, the brothers shared a table with Lagasse, where they discussed the joys and challenges of the restaurant industry.

"I told him the people of Fall River are very proud of him," DaSilva said. "He's a big ambassador for the city, and in this case Portuguese food as well."

According to DaSilva, Lagasse was most gracious to the room full of excited customers and staff who exchanged words and took photos with the Fall River icon.

"He was very friendly. I think he felt like he was around his people here," said DaSilva, noting that some customers reminisced about how they knew his family.

What other Fall River-area spots did Emeril visit? 

Lagasse's Sunday stops also included Portas Da Cidade Restaurant and Lounge in Westport, which shared a photo of their encounter with the memorable patron on Facebook.

"It was an honor and privilege to have Chef Emeril Lagasse and his team dine with us this afternoon. Chefs Ruben, Joe, and Emanuel made sure that everything is top notch as usual," read the Westport eatery's post.

On Monday, Lagasse continued his tour of Fall River hotspots by dining at the T.A. Restaurant on South Main Street, enjoying some Azorean cuisine and taking photos with restaurant managers. He also hit up Nick's Hot Dogs for a quick bite and visited Portugalia Marketplace , which has been host to numerous TV food shows and distinguished chefs over the years.

"He left us by saying, 'It’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon,’" read a Facebook post by the Twelfth Street shop.

Lagasse's multi-day stretch of restaurant hopping in Greater Fall River also included several other local businesses, who shared photos with their special guest. Lagasse was spotted at Fall River's Caldeiras Restaurant, Mee Sum Chinese restaurant, Mello's Chourico and Linguica and Sarmento's Imports, as well as Saraiva Enterprises in New Bedford.

Emeril’s Fall River roots

Born in Fall River in 1959, Lagasse worked his way up from the kitchens of Fall River to kitchens all over the world.

An alumnus of Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School's culinary arts program, he started out washing pans at Carreiros Barcelos bakery on Bedford Street and cut his teeth at places like the Quequechan Club and St. John's Athletic Club in Fall River, as well as Venus de Milo in Swansea.

He went on to attend Johnson & Wales University in Providence, which set him on a path to an impressive culinary career spanning 33 years.

His famous New Orleans restaurant Emeril’s has spawned more than 20 restaurants nationwide. The celebrity chef has also hosted multiple award-winning TV cooking shows where he rode a catchphrase craze to national fame (“Bam,” “kick it up a notch,” “pork fat rules”), written cookbooks, and even played himself in a sitcom. 

Fall River beginnings: Emeril Lagasse opens up about losing his 'second mom’

SouthCoast serving as inspiration for new restaurant

Lagasse's newest addition to his restaurant portfolio — the reason for his SouthCoast trip — will be named 34 Restaurant & Bar. 

The number name reflects that father and son are the 3rd and 4th Emeril Lagasses. The celebrity chef's father was Emeril Jr.

The New Orleans restaurant, which he is planning with his son, 21-year-old chef E.J. Lagasse, will serve as a love letter to their Portuguese heritage.

New Desert Diamond Casino near Glendale is on track to open this year. Take a peek

tour maubourg restaurant

A $450 million casino under construction in the West Valley near Loop 303 and Northern Avenue is on track to open by the end of the year, representatives from the Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise said Tuesday during a tour of the work.

The casino, called Desert Diamond Casino White Tanks at San Lucy, will include 900 slot machines, 48 table games, high-limit slots and table games, a VIP lounge, sportsbook and several food venues, including a Starbucks, Mike Bean, CEO of the Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise, said.

The casino is near Glendale on land that has been taken into trust for the tribe. The city of Surprise will be providing emergency services for the site.

The interior theme of the casino was designed to mimic a butterfly, with the ceiling designed to invoke the patterns on a butterfly’s wings.

High-end steakhouse, pub will be anchor restaurants

A Morton’s The Steakhouse will take one of the spaces for a large, sit-down restaurant. The high-end steakhouse will have indoor and outdoor dining and a wine room. The other sit-down restaurant space will be a pub-style restaurant called Pub Stop, which will also have indoor and outdoor seating.

The casino will also have a five-venue food hall with four restaurant options and a bar. The restaurants will offer different options, including rotisserie chicken, tacos, burgers and sandwiches. Bean said the development team is working on a system that will enable patrons to order food from different restaurants in the food hall in one order at a kiosk.

Indoor cigarette smoking will not be allowed, but there is a smoking area outside.

The project will create about 5,500 construction jobs, and the casino’s operations will create about 1,000 permanent jobs.

The casino and accompanying parking garage are the first phase of development for Desert Diamond Casino White Tanks at San Lucy.

The second phase planned at the site will include a 350-room hotel with convention and meeting space, a rooftop bar, a 2,500-seat entertainment venue and a hotel pool. After the hotel, Bean said future phases would be aimed at creating an “entertainment district” to complement the casino and neighboring attractions like the Wildlife World Zoo, which is across the street.

Construction on the first phase will last about 19 months, Randy Howe, project development director for the enterprise, said.  

The newest casino will be the fifth for the Tohono O'odham nation, which operates three casinos in southern Arizona, in Sahuarita, Tucson and Why, and a fourth location in the Phoenix metro near Westgate.

Tribe allowed to expand land after flood

The nation was allowed to expand its reservation space to include by about 10,000 acres because of a settlement in the 1980s. The deal replaced land on the reservation that was destroyed by flooding when Painted Rock Dam was built. The nation was allowed to identify sites on unincorporated land in Maricopa, Pima or Pinal counties, according to the settlement. The newest casino is being built on 110 acres of that land.

The casino and accompanying development are planned for about 80 acres of the site, Howe said. The remainder of the land can be used by the nation as it sees fit, but the project development team will come up with several different ideas for possible planning that the tribe can use or modify, he said.

Next phase of Desert Diamond West Valley coming first

Bean said the next phase of the new casino is planned to come after the second phase of development at the Desert Diamond West Valley casino, which is near Westgate at Loop 101 and Northern Avenue. That expansion will also be a hotel, which will be 19 stories tall, with 450 rooms, a rooftop bar and convention space. A timeline for that development has not been finalized, he said.

The West Valley location sees about 10,000 patrons a day, Bean said. The new location will be smaller, so he anticipates slightly fewer customers per day.

A Martini Tour of New York City

By Gary Shteyngart

Three people in a row drinking martinis at a bar. The person on the far right is eating an olive.

Three years ago, as the pandemic was loosening its grip on the world, and as I started to recover from the aftereffects of a botched childhood circumcision that had returned to haunt me in middle age, I rediscovered the bottomless pleasure of a cold dry Martini. My emergence from both a global and personal health crisis plunged me into a daily Saturnalia. As restaurants reopened, I unhinged my jaw and left it open: suadero tacos dripping with lard; twisted knobs of dough crowning gigantic Georgian khinkali dumplings; the mutton chop at Keens Steakhouse that is made for sharing in theory, but not in practice—all fell victim to my appetites. And to help the food go down easy, I also consumed gallons of Willamette Valley pinot noir and hyper-local artisanal ales. Soon enough, my A1C levels were in the prediabetic range and I knew that action had to be taken.

Sugar was the problem, and while I have always been an aficionado of the blood-sugar-lowering wonder drug metformin I decided to make a life-style change as well. I decided to start drinking lots of Martinis. Martinis, I reasoned, contain far less sugar than beer or wine. Also, Martinis make you happier faster and so you do not need to drink as many of them. There is a point in my writing day when a Martini appears before my eyes and I have to resist putting it in the hands of my characters. In my last published novel, many Gibsons, a relative of the Martini, were enjoyed by nearly all my protagonists as they faced lifetimes of regrets and bouts of late-fortysomething ennui. Martinis often appear in other forms of art as symbols of joy and closure. The last scene of “ Poor Things ,” a stylized and sybaritic film if ever there was one, ends with the sumptuously dressed characters drinking a bevy of Martinis.

But not all has been well in Martini land. For years, doctors have been telling us that a glass or two of wine at dinner is good for our health. So how bad could two relatively sugar-free Martinis be? Recently, however, doctors changed their minds. A flurry of articles descended from Mount Hippocrates declaring that the healthiest choice was zero alcohol.

Zero alcohol! A glass of water with our salad. A splash of cucumber juice after our workout. The more articles I read, the angrier I became. Modern Americans are supposed to submit to all the indignities of late capitalism: the endless work hours, the 9 P.M. e-mails from our superiors, software that monitors our every keystroke. And then we’re not even supposed to have a drink in the middle of this psychic carnage? (Perhaps that drink would interfere with our productivity.) I understand that most doctors want us only to stay healthy, but the Rx on their prescription pads seems to read “Endless suffering endured daily; refill until death.” No, I, for one, would not submit. Let the younger folks medicate with their Adderall to stay up and their benzos to come down. In the meantime, I would reach for my gin and my vermouth and one V-shaped glass to contain them all. I would dedicate myself to the cult of the Martini.

But which Martini? I divide my time between upstate New York and New York City, and both have bars and restaurants that make formidable versions of the drink. Perhaps the best Martini one can enjoy is on the porch of my home in the country, but not all readers will find themselves there. Instead, with the so-called end user in mind, I decided to find some of the best Martinis in the city and to do so with some of my favorite Martini devotees: writers, actors, critics, and other assorted dipsos.

My Martini journey began on a chilly February with my friend the writer Amor Towles. I had asked Amor, with whom I share a neighborhood and a penchant for high-quality drinking, for his favorite Martini in the city and he had mentioned the Chelsea, which was once a semi-seedy artist’s paradise and now is not. The Martini of the Lobby Bar there is beloved because it pays homage to the Dukes Martini—named for the eponymous bar and hotel in London’s St. James’s neighborhood—which is famed for its frostiness, its purity, and, not least importantly, its size. (Legend has it that patrons at the original establishment were only allowed two per evening.)

The Lobby Bar is sumptuous, with a bar top that accommodates a Parthenon’s worth of marble, and banquettes that are cozy and velvety. Amor came properly dressed in a vest for the occasion, while I had hastened off the Amtrak in my county garb. The Dukes Martini was assembled tableside—the ingredients presented on a foldout stand—by a young server skilled in the pouring arts. When it comes to the purist’s dry Martini, there are two things to remember. First, there is a mantra that Amor himself has coined: “Crisp, clear, and cold.” The Lobby Bar follows these directives by freezing the glasses, as well as the gin or vodka. The second is the “vermouth rinse.” In this maneuver, the composition I usually turn to for a dry Martini—one part vermouth to five parts gin—is almost entirely done away with. The vermouth is conscripted only to coat a rather enormous glass and is then tossed away before the gin or vodka, which has been primed with a dash of salt-water solution, is poured. (I have been told that at the original Dukes the vermouth was ignominiously tossed onto the carpet, whereas at the Chelsea it is merely splashed into a tiny glass of olives, perhaps later to be lapped up by an alcoholic dog.) Notably, no ice or shakers are used and the alcohol is neither shaken nor stirred, creating a ninety-five-per-cent undiluted Martini, which, at this volume, functions as a kind of uncontrolled insanity.

The drinking began. The first Martini, essentially a vermouth-coated container for what I eyeballed to be two and a half to three shots of juniper-noted, grapefruit-evoking Tanqueray No. Ten gin, immediately put us in a mood. The mood was a good one. I cannot remember whether it was Amor or I who said “I’m feeling very chummy.” Perhaps we both said it. The Dukes Martini came with an array of garnishes, of which I found the lemon peel most conducive to the juniper crispness of the Tanqueray.

By this point, there was no other choice but to try the Dukes Martini with Ketel One vodka. Purists insist on gin, of course, but given my national background growing up in a famous autocracy high up by the Gulf of Finland, my constitution prefers vodka for the recovery process the morning after. Nevertheless, this was a hell of a lot of vodka. Here, I plopped an olive into the oversized glass for a hint of brininess. Although my thumbs were ceasing to work, I managed to type “This is friendship juice” into my phone as Amor and I chattered away on topics both alcoholic and literary. We ordered a very decent shrimp cocktail and split a B.L.T. sandwich to fortify ourselves for our third drink, the so-called 1884 Martini. This beast is premade with two types of gin—Boatyard Double Gin, from Northern Ireland, and the New York Distilling Company’s Perry’s Tot Navy Strength Gin—which clocks in at a ridiculous 114 proof. This dangerous concoction is then fat-washed with Spanish Arbequina olive oil, after which it is frozen and the olive oil’s fat removed, while vermouth, lemon liqueur, a house-made vetiver tincture, and a few dashes of lemon-pepper bitters are added. A lemon peel is then showily expressed over the glass tableside and a very briny Gordal olive and a cocktail-onion skewer are plopped in. Although more sizable quantities of vermouth and other pollutants are at play than in the classic Dukes Martini, the over-proofed gin does a lot of the talking and one is soon very convincingly drunk.

Three Martinis in, spirits high, voices loud, we stormed down Broadway to our native Gramercy, where, in the pursuit of further bar eating and to descend from our Martini highs, we split a duo of frankfurters at the Old Town Bar & Restaurant, along with a pair of Negronis. That night, my stomach padded with beef and bun, I descended into the sleep of the righteous, dreaming of further drunken friendship still.

My research continued. I conscripted my friend the actor J. Smith-Cameron, known lately for her role as Gerri on “Succession,” into taking me to one of her favorite Martini joints, Gotham Restaurant, in the Village. One can love a bar for the drinks, or one can love a bar for the bartender. For J., it is the latter, and the Gotham bartender’s name is Billy. Gotham, which opened in 1984, has been a fixture of the downtown dining scene for decades, and Billy is a lifer in that world, having worked at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill for twenty years, before spending ten years at Gotham. (The restaurant closed during COVID and reëmerged under new ownership.) J. and I are besotted by the man, by the excellent floral skinny tie, by the black vest, by the rolled-up bartender’s sleeves. There is a bookshelf to the left of the bar and the corporatized but still-interesting urban ballet of Twelfth Street beyond the restaurant’s tall windows, and then there is the potent drink before us.

When it comes to Martinis, Billy is a rebel against the general anti-vermouth vibe that pervades our city, but he knows his patrons prefer their libations dry. “ ’Cause most people,” he told us, “if you put vermouth in nowadays, they send it back.” He mixed us a Vesper, a drink that de-Balkanizes the conflict between vodka and gin by combining both, with a splash of Lillet Blanc serving as the Holy Spirit. “I use more Lillet to make it sweeter, to add more body,” Billy told us. The drink, while still crisp, was more toothsome than a standard dry Martini.

Gary Shteyngart and J. SmithCameron sit at a bar holding martinis towards the camera.

As we tried on a pair of Gibsons for size (here, a cocktail onion serves as the garnish), J. and I discussed child rearing. When her daughter was a child, J. taught her the rudiments of life: making a good pot of coffee and a good Martini. In a year or two, my ten-year-old son should be taught the same. J. tells me that while on the set of “Succession” she insisted that her character, Gerri, should be drinking gin Martinis with an olive, even while the other characters were drinking trendy “blue drinks” during scenes that called for alcohol. She also once threw a drink at her fellow cast member and friend Kieran Culkin because “Oh, we were very, very rude.”

Billy next presented us with a tribute to the supposed origin of the Martini, the Martinez, developed in the eponymous town northeast of San Francisco during the mid-nineteenth century. The cocktails are related, but after the crisp minimalism of a Gibson, the Martinez is akin to encountering a violent early hominid in a downtown bar. Sweet vermouth and maraschino are conscripted alongside the usual gin. Billy uses Carpano sweet vermouth, which, to my palate, provides hints of bitterness instead of overwhelming sweetness. It went down as easy as a Martinez can, and J. and I were now thoroughly drunk. Gotham’s kitchen was closed, so we headed across the street to get burgers at the Strip House to buffer our stomachs. When we left, an hour later, Billy had also crossed the street to get a drink at the bar. There he was, with his sleeves still rolled up, saying goodbye to the evening.

Over the years, I have had many Vespers with the food critic Adam Platt, and he remains, in my mind, as close as it comes to a philosopher-gourmand. “E. B. White called the Martini the elixir of quietude,” Platty, as he’s known, told me while we were sipping a vodka Martini at Tigre, on Rivington Street, on the Lower East Side. Platty’s father was a high-ranking diplomat in Asia and elsewhere when the future food critic was still a child, and he would come home and make himself a Martini. “My dad didn’t talk a lot when he had a Martini,” Platty said. But when he drank after a long day’s work, “there was a sense of slow-seeping well being.”

The dry Martini may be a powerful “friendship juice,” but a V-shaped glass is also a perfect container above which to hang one’s solitary perplexed punim at the end of a tough week or day or hour. Platty put it slightly differently: “A good Wasp just likes a big-ass Martini.”

Three people drink martinis in a row. One gestures with their hand to the other.

Tigre is one of the most beautiful bars of recent vintage that I have seen. Windowless, it glows like a jewel box, and the striking semicircle of the bar is not unlike that of the U.N. Security Council, though studded with booze. Platty remarked that “all these bartenders look like Jesus,” and our handsome open-shirted server so resembled the Lord that I couldn’t help but hum, “Oh, come, let us adore him,” under my breath. The highlight of Tigre’s Martini menu is the vodka-based Cigarette, which Platty immediately qualified as “smoky as fuck.” “It’s old-fashioned, like if you smoked a cigarette while having a Martini,” Jesus told us, which is absolutely on point. Austria’s Truman vodka is shot into flaming orbit by an inventive liquor made by Empirical, the Danish distillery, and named after Stephen King’s pyrokinetic character Charlene McGee, which presents on the tongue as a flavorful burst of smoked juniper, hence the feeling that a draw of nicotine and tar can’t be far.

Platty approved. While he used to drink solely gin Martinis “colder than Margaret Thatcher’s heart,” he cited, as an inspiration for his own switch, the late Roger Angell, a writer for this magazine, who shifted during his later years “ from gin to vodka , which was less argumentative.” Platty’s A1C levels, however, have also driven him in search of other pleasures. “As an older diabetic boomer,” he said, “I like to get high.”

Despite our age and lack of hair, we decided to try our luck in Brooklyn. We headed to Maison Premiere, on Bedford Avenue, which is, oddly enough, owned by the same folks as Tigre. But in contrast to our cordial reception at Tigre, we were kept waiting for almost an hour, promised a Martini, then a seat, while all around us young professionals posed with and then demolished skyscrapers of plateau de fruits de mer. “It’s age discrimination!” Platty hollered, literally shaking his fist above the din. “Where’s my fucking Martini?”

We stomped out of the Maison and angrily scarfed down some street-side tacos as we recovered from this macro aggression. We decided that while Brooklyn was, pace Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men, we would give the borough one more try at Sunken Harbor Club, the recent but already renowned tiki bar above the steak house Gage & Tollner, on a dejected stretch of downtown. Sunken Harbor’s nautical theme and far more low-key clientele quickly warmed our bitter hearts as we were presented with the Immortal Martini. Here I will keep my descriptive powder dry and instead quote from the menu: “This gin Martini intrigues the senses with sesame oil, red pepper, and a cooling hint of cucumber. Not as briny as the sea, but enough to evoke the ocean’s mist.” Precisely. “It’s not bad,” Platty said. “It’s quite smooth,” he added. “I mean, it’s some weird shit. It tastes like a cucumber salad.”

We slurped in contemplation, enjoying the strangest take on the “elixir of quietude” yet, when an urgent message came over the intercom: “We’re taking on water! We’re all going down! This is your last call for alcohol!” Mist rolled into the bar, and a kind of laser-light show erupted all around us to the tune of ABBA ’s “S.O.S.” Satisfied that we had seen the best Brooklyn has to offer, Platty and I departed for our home island.

A bartender pours liquid into a glass.

But a few days later I was back in Brooklyn to visit my friend Matt Hranek, author of the brilliantly concise and altogether helpful volume “ The Martini: Perfection In a Glass .” (Fans of Negronis might want to take a look at the accompanying volume, “ The Negroni: A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail .”)

The dapper herringbone-jacket-attired Matt—he is also the editor of WM Brown , a life-style magazine—prepared me a few Martinis using coupe glasses and CAP gin, from the Côte d’Azur (“Far more herbaceous than that kind of classic London dry”). Matt is an evangelist for the “vermouth rinse” and the chilled-gin-and-glasses technique (he pointed out “the mouth feel of gin just out of the freezer” and allowed that gin-freezer storage was a “Dukes bar hack”). I want to draw attention to the joys of drinking from a coupe rather than a large V-shaped glass. A server at the venerable Death & Co., in the East Village (which makes a very effective ume-and-yuzu-aided Martini called the Parasol Dance), told me that drinking from a V-shaped glass “calls for an elegance of motion,” an elegance my shaky hands no longer have. Matt’s collection of diminutive coupes creates a different, more measured approach to the intake of vermouth-rinsed, premier-quality gin, and one with zero spillage of the precious liquid.

We crossed back into Manhattan and a six-hour marathon of Martini drinking began, one that should only be attempted by professionals like ourselves. The first stop was the new outpost of the storied Dante, this one on Hudson Street, in the West Village, which specializes in Martinis. On a Friday night, the room tinkled with the sound of voices just a decade out of summer camp and maybe five years out of the Midwest. “New York is so expensive,” a young woman from Ohio seated at the table next to us bemoaned. “But we want to pay for it!” The eponymous Dante Martini may well be worth the price: it is a heady combination of Ketel One, Fords Gin, Noilly Prat vermouth (Matt’s favorite), grappa-esque Nardini Acqua di Cedro liqueur, and lemon and olive bitters. “This is not for the home bartender,” Matt said, as he toasted with the complicated drink. “This is why you go out.” We both took a long sip. “That’s wet ,” he said with appreciation.

I was most interested in the garnish, a tri-color of black, green, and red olives, and was told by the proprietor, Linden Barton Pride (a name as suitable for the protagonist of a novel as for a Martini-bar owner), that these were Cerignola olives, from the Puglia region of Italy. Matt and I followed up our drinks with some shishito peppers and one of the best Martini accompaniments I have had so far, a simple fluffy piece of bread with a side of smoked butter. The bread, Pride told me, is made in a charcoal oven and is a cross between sourdough and Turkish pide. Dante also churns and smokes its own butter. This elemental combination of butter, bread, and colorful olives allowed me to enjoy at least three more Martinis before we shoved off across town.

Our next stop would be a nostalgic one for many New Yorkers, the newly reopened Temple Bar, on Lafayette. While Dante was ablaze with light, the Temple Bar, true to its name, was dark and muted, verging on the sacred. In the old days, I recalled, this is where many affairs were kindled or allowed to slowly burn out. Matt, who has long worked in media, remembered it as a gathering spot. “A lot of finance journalists used to come here,” Matt told me, “I would walk in here and I would see the editors I knew from Vanity Fair , GQ .” He reminisced about a hostess with “Groucho Marx eyebrows” and said that the room was the setting of many of his dates. “It is what I imagined travelling on a yacht would be.”

The Temple Bar closed in 2017, after the death of its owner, and reopened in 2021 under the cocktail stewardship of the team behind the Lower East Side bar Attaboy. The décor is much the same sultry darkened Deco; even the payphone by the entrance remains. Matt insisted that we needed a protein layer to accompany our latest foray, and we chose devils on horseback to go with the “Two Plymouth Martinis very dry up with a twist,” which would serve as a foil to Dante’s eponymous drink. “Plymouth is a much sharper gin than most,” Matt mused as we sipped. The bacon of the devils on horseback set off a long Proustian moment as we recalled the Martini-accompanying bar snacks of yore, the pigs in a blanket, for example, that went so well with the Polo Bar’s Gibsons.

Duty called for us to travel above Fourteenth Street as we visited perhaps the most classic of the city’s Martini destinations, Bemelmans Bar, at the Carlyle Hotel. I would be remiss here if I didn’t mention that by this point my recollections are as blurry as the pictures I tried to take with my phone. With at least six Martinis inside me and searching for a bathroom, I spent a great deal of time wandering in and out of the Bemelmans’s brilliantly glowing maze of rooms, bumping into tourists and trying to engage in conversation the murals of Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline and the portrait of Bobby Short, as if they were alive and imbibing alongside me. “Tanqueray Ten,” Matt said to the server when I rejoined him. “One olive, super dry.” Although it was uncalled for, it was still sublime.

Our marathon ended at Aretsky’s Patroon, a restaurant run by the amiable father-and-son team of Ken and Gene Aretsky, who greeted us like heroes returning from a long battle, a battle we had both won and lost. Ken was the manager of the “21” Club during the booze-soaked mid-eighties, and the clubby Patroon is known for its Martinis, its enormous steaks, and the incredible photographs on the walls, including one of Andreas Feininger’s moody shots of lower Manhattan that may be the most Martini-friendly work of art imaginable.

As midnight approached, Matt and I buttressed our stomachs with a côte de boeuf for two, perfectly charred on the outside, and our last (and possibly tenth) Martini, composed mostly of perfectly dry London gin. Matt thought we should end the evening “with a bit of hydration,” and I was picturing some sort of exotic Catalan water to give the côte de boeuf a nice mineral bath, but what he actually meant was a gin-and-tonic. A cab ride home followed, about which I remember nothing.

A cocktail server carries a tray with three cocktails.

My final Martini marathon took place at one of the few places in midtown that can make me very happy, Le Rock, the Rockefeller Center restaurant whose bar radiates warmth and civilization to a neighborhood known for neither. I was joined by the journalist and Russia specialist Michael Weiss. There have been many Wasp protagonists in this story thus far, but Jews drink Martinis as well. I once consoled a Jewish friend over the loss of his mother with help from the Smoked Martini (the Laphroaig rinse helps cut through grief) at Russ & Daughters Café, on the Lower East Side.

Perhaps my favorite bartender in the city, Connor Piazza, mixes at Le Rock. Despite her relative youth, she knows her booze and is a whiz with the cocktail shaker. Michael and I were presented with every Martini on the menu. The Au Poivre introduces vodka to the excitement of green peppercorn, and the Super Sec fixes most mortal problems with over-proofed gin and extra-dry and white vermouth. The L’Alaska is perhaps the most interesting, almost a take on the Martinez, with a sweet-but-not-too-sweet combination of dry gin, yellow Chartreuse, and a dash of the Carthusian monks’ Élixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse. “Without Martinis, Anglo culture would have never happened,” Michael concluded at the end of this taste-testing as I munched on soft sweetbreads with black truffle and an excellent leeks vinaigrette whose enclosure of leek greens was circumcised tableside so that the roasted white parts within could be exposed by one of the servers. “Four Martinis in an hour,” he added. “I’m bombed.”

As Connor made an In and Out, her version of a “not quite straight up, extra dry, but not dry” Martini, I recalled the first Martini I ever had. I was a sophomore at Oberlin College and my roommate’s father had taken us out to a restaurant called Presti’s, which served hard booze in a partially dry county and was popular with the faculty for that reason alone. The gin Martini tasted strange to my vodka-conditioned tongue, but the olives were nearly winking at me, and after a few of the libations my teen-aged self felt slightly less scared of the world in front of him. I remember staggering to the bathroom and endeavoring to chat up a professor of modernist American literature. I remember seeing myself in the bathroom mirror and wondering if I could somehow prove myself to be at least a little bit suave. I remember lifting up my V-shaped glass back at the table and knowing that it would accompany me through the rest of my life. ♦
