I agree with pretty much all you said...but, that is what the OP gets for eating late in Midtown.

And your example of leaving $20 for a $13 cerainly does seem a little bit excessive, doesn't it? [/QUOTE]

This is where I slightly diverge from agreeing with PlatBrownGuy. I live above a bar and go to many regularly, for the $3 special glasses of wine last night at Julius or the $12 spiced margarita at BBar I will usually leave $2 for the first round I get and then after that it's usually a $1. What gives me the red a$$ is when I see people during happy hour/2for1 who on their second free drink don't go up and leave something.

Looks like they have done a great job, both with the memorial and the museum. Very beautiful, touching as well as educational.
It's a great tourist trap. Talk to families of the victims, first responders and those in/around lower Manhattan during 9/11 and many of them won't go and have serious issues with it.
