Gen Z invades Bemelman's Bar in the Carlyle Hotel, NYC

https://nypost.com/2021/12/03/gen-z-invasion-of-nycs-bemelmans-bar-has-old-timers-in-a-huff/

Social media has suddenly made famous to 20 year olds one of NYC's fabled watering holes. Now Bemelman's Bar has an hour long wait, a gruff bouncer and skads of young people who order funny drinks.
'Where are all the hookers?' asks one old time customer who was used to a certain type of clientele.

invading upscale NYC bars.
There is a limited supply of martinis in Manhattan. Gen Z is drinking more than their share.
