I just went, waited in line for 25 minutes, and got a $30 meal for about $3. The waiter was charming, the elderly couple I shared a table with were happy, and the sturgeon and salmon sandwich was delicious. Congrats to Barney Greengrass for restoring my faith in the "free" NYC events that are usually so overwhelming that they exclude the majority of people.

"Gary Greengrass". That name sounds like a '70's singer/songwriter with a bad pot hangover.

I really want to like this place but I just can't. Crazy high prices, cramped and loud, with long waits. You can get an excellent bagel with cream cheese and lox pre-made that day at Zabar's for less than $5 so why go to Barney's?

Did people really pay fifteen cents for a coffee in 1908? In 1915 coffee was thirty cents a pound retail.

Sturgeon is a faux pas. But I do love caviar.
