BEST MARTINI

Eric's New World Bistro and Teller's Cage Lounge

There's a reason this particular drink is called The 007 James Bond: It wields a real punch. We made the mistake of taking The Martini Tester to sample it, and now he's always bugging us to take him back, as if he needed to do another test run. He knew the drink — made with Bombay Sapphire gin and shaken, not stirred — was as close to perfect as he's gonna get.
