For a midtown restaurant/bar opening, Vander Bar’s was rather quiet. I work by Grand Central Station and, one day while walking east, I passed the corner and noticed the Roosevelt Hotel’s newly opened eatery, tall windows emptying onto 45th St. and bar area overflowing like it was already an established neighborhood joint. And, a few months later, I suppose it now is, thanks to its proximity to Beer Bar, its game day drink specials, and, my personal favorite, the 2-for-1 lunches.
I tried the lunch deal with a friend a few weeks ago and had to go back again today. Where else can you sit down to enjoy a leisurely lunch in midtown for a mere $8 per person? Sample dishes ranging lobster roll sliders to margherita pizzas and from blue cheese burgers to steak frites. The original deal was only good until June 30th, but has since been extended until the end of July. You can find the coupon here. Here’s hoping we’ll be able to enjoy leisurely lunches for less through the rest of the summer!
