Food / shopping / News $1,000 martini
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Martinis and diamonds. Two of a woman's favorite words.
Get them both at The Capital Grille when you buy their $1,000 martini. The drink will come garnished with more than a cherry. With it, you will get a White Topaz and Diamond Caviar Rope Bracelet designed by acclaimed designer Stephen Lagos. You don't have to feel guilty for spending one grand on a martini though -- 100% of the profits from the lavish martini will benefit Share Our Strength, a non-profit leader in the flight to end childhood hunger in America.
The bracelet is touted as a "limited edition" item created exclusively for the restaurant and will only be available Nov. 24 - Jan.3.
But if you like the bracelet, don't care about charity and/or don't want to spend $1,000 for the bracelet, just hop on over to Nordstrom and pick up a similar bracelet for only $675. This Lagos bracelet is the same design as the Charity Martini one, but it just doesn't have the two side diamonds...but it's hardly noticeable!
If you want the $1,000 martini, go to The Capital Grille located at:
201 N Tryon St # 1000
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 348-1400
If you just want the bracelet without the booze, go to Nordstrom located at:
SouthPark Mall
4400 Sharon Road, Suite 500
Charlotte, NC 28211
(704) 442-6000
