Well, my small contribution, a very old chestnut: Three elderly gents in the diner, the old Jewish waiter approaches to get the order. First elderly gent says, "I want tea, not too hot, no milk, no sugar." The second says, "I want tea, very hot, with a little milk and some sugar on the side." Third gent says, "I will also have tea, hot, and in a clean cup." Waiter returns with the tea, says, "Who wanted the clean cup?"

I would nominate the burger at Peter Luger's, served during lunch, as one of NY's best, and certainly one of NY's best bargains, as the burger is only ŭ.95. If you want fries with the burger, then be prepared to pay Ů.95. This incredible deal is not listed on their menu (or at least it wasn't the last time I had it). You simply have to ask the waiter. Don't know what cut of meat they use, but the taste was, to me, very very close to the taste of the great Peter Luger steak itself. The other wonderful advantage of lunch at Peter Luger's is that you not only don't need a reservation, you can usually walk in and pick your table.
