The soda is a true NYC institution, deeply embedded in Italian-American food culture across the boroughs and inner-ring suburbs. Former fans who've moved away have been known to have cases mailed to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis clear glass bottle is embossed MANHATTAN SPECIAL on both the front and back — the kind of dual-face embossing that signals a bottle built for visibility on a shelf, in a cooler, or on a table. The glass is honestly worn, with the light surface patina you'd expect from a bottle that lived fully before coming to rest with Brooklyn Sea Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 7.25\" H × 2.1\" diameter | Weight: 9.9 oz | Overall worn surface condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MANHATTAN SPECIAL name makes this bottle work hard in any NYC-specific display context — a coffee corner, a Brooklyn-themed shelf, a bar cart built around local provenance. Use it as a bud vase for a single dried stem on a kitchen windowsill, or let it anchor an eclectic vintage shelf alongside other embossed glass. Works in dark academia, cottagecore-with-edge, and vintage entertaining tablescapes that prioritize authentic local history over generic styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecovered from NYC's historic shorelines and landfill sites. Both the brand and the bottle have deep roots in Brooklyn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brooklyn Sea Glass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46673456824374,"sku":"018 MNHTNSPECIAL","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/brooklynseaglass.com\/products\/manhattan-special-espresso-soda-bottle-vintage-embossed-glass-brooklyn-nyc-collectible-since-1895","provider":"Brooklyn Sea Glass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
