The First Dry Martini
Martinis
Martini Lounge
One of The Knickerbocker’s most fabled legends is that the dry martini was invented in its ornate barroom by bartender Martini de Arma di Taggia. From 1907 until Prohibition began in 1920, the hotel’s famous, wildly popular bar was at the very center of the growing cult of the Dry Martini. Anybody who was anybody in the Gilded Age - F. Scott Fitzgerald, Enrico Caruso, various Roosevelts –
was imbibing at the bar, and odds were they were drinking Dry Martinis.

The Knickerbocker’s most famous resident was broadway superstar George M. Cohan. An actor, singer, dancer, composer, playwright, and producer. Cohan was an entire talent show unto himself. Just 29 years
old, with song writing credits like “Give My Regards to Broadway” already under his belt, he was dubbed “the boy owner of the American flag” by the New York Sun.
