When Is A Tavern Not A Tavern?

Last night I went out to Gramercy Tavern for a few drinks, which incidentally is not a tavern. It should be called "Old Rich White People Restaurant With Small Bar" (is pretentiousness contagious? I woke up this morning with a slight case of "feeling I was more important than everyone else"). I also learned that Tavern On The Green is also not a tavern. Who knew? . . . . . Probably everyone except me. And you will be happy to know that I'm back to feeling less important than everyone else. I tell ya, Robitussin is good for everything!
