There are something like 6 or 7 of them so they are never crowded - more tourists than NY'ers eat there. I know there's one on 42nd, I also know there's one in the Empire State Building, at the Seaport, on 52nd, etc. I've gone there a few times for a game or just an after work drink with other friends from the city. It usually is half-full, not that loud, and can get a decent meal for under $15.00. Reservations for a group would not be a problem - even on short notice. They also have great beer samplers and have 10 or so of their own micro-brews. Basically, it would not be a place that I would go to if I wanted to plan a Friday night or Saturday dinner with my girlfriend - but it may fit the bill as a decent food, good atmosphere, not overly expensive, easy to get to place for a bunch of card-collectors. Again - just a suggestions... what do the other NY'ers think?
