I agree. If a restaurant around my area did this....I wouldn't protest...I would just eat elsewhere.
Ana's on Broadway between 102nd & 103rd Sts. (owned by Susan O'Leary)
Cafe Madeline at 46th & 9th
Bill's Gay Nineties on 54th between Madison & Park
Turtle Bay Club on 2nd Avenue
O'Lunney's, 46th Street
Manhanttan Lounge
A friend of mine is compiling a list. And a list of particularly unfriendly ones.
