More expensive fare:
New York’s historic Algonquin Hotel, once the domain of the Algonquin Roundtable where 1930s notables such as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Heywood Broun drank, offers a $10,000 "Martini on the Rock." The drink comes with a pre-selected diamond at the bottom of the glass (the $10,000 value of the beverage is based on the market value of the diamond).
To order this special Martini, one needs a 72-hour advance notice and a personal visit to the hotel's own jeweler (Bader & Garrin). The "Martini on the Rock" was first ordered and used in a marriage proposal in December 2004 (by Joe Imperato of Westchester County to his girlfriend, Melissa Beck).
