Gramercy Tavern used to be proud of their lemonade. I assume they still are.

They also serve a tiny pitcher of simple syrup to use in sweetening your iced tea and last time I was there (three years ago) had the best restaurant coffee in NYC - Puerto Rico Yauco Selecto. I wish more restaurants paid attention to the small details like this. I was there at lucnh but am I correct in thinking that one could easily have a good dinner for two at under $100 in GT's front room?

. . . . I was there at luch but am I correct in thinking that one could easily have a good dinner for two at under $100 in GT's front room?

They don't take reservations and that's the reason I haven't been there lately, otherwise it would be our number one impromptu place to meet friends. I don't recall the prices, but I recall they were a bargain and I suspect a couple can have dinner for under $100. You might have to split a dessert or an appetizer, then again Mrs. B sometimes ordered two appetizers and called it dinner. I would even imagine you could squeeze in a couple of glasses of wine. Wine prices were usually quite reasonable, if not as low as at Landmarc. On the otherhand, with a no reservation policy and a wine list with temptations, one could run up a good sized tab waiting for a table at the bar, or even waiting for two seats together at the bar. You can eat at the bar.
