Anthony Martignetti

Anthony is a well-known New York City restaurateur, bar owner, and designer—currently with Melody's Piano Bar and The East Pole restaurant on the Upper East Side, and The Palace nightclub in Tribeca. He is renovating a 200-year-old historic haunted grist mill, called The Old Mill on the North Fork of Long Island, which is famous for being the secret weekend getaway for lovers Carol Lombard and Clark Gable in the 1930s. Anthony is also a vintner and the founder of Old Sound Vineyard, also on the North Fork of Long Island. He has been drawing cartoons most of his adult life to entertain his friends and family. With New York locked down and his restaurants closed, he had the opportunity to spend much more time drawing, and in 2020 had his first cartoons published both in the New Yorker and Airmail. Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Grave is his first book.
