Diamonds Not Rough at Algonquin

Someone has already bought the $10,000 martini at the Algonquin Hotel's Blue Bar, which we told you about last week. The story was all over the papers today, as a Westchester guy proposed to his girlfriend with a $13,000 martini & diamond.

What would Dorothy Parker think of this? How about one of her classics:

Unfortunate Coincidence

By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
