Takuma Watanabe spent eight years at Angel's Share before opening this three-floor carriage house on East 17th Street, where Japanese technique meets old New York architecture. Hand-carved ice, hot towels, and a Grand Martini built with gin, sherry, port, and cognac earned Watanabe the Bartender of the Year title at the 2024 Spirits Business Awards and the Best Bartender in North America nod at the Shaker Awards. Martiny's, which was No. 15 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025, treats every drink as a ceremony. The formality is the point.
