A very expensive lunch

My friend Brenda and I, for reasons that are too complicated to go into here, had a credit for $205 at this very pricey Swedish restaurant on East 55th. We decided it would probably pay for lunch for the two of us. As it turned out, after two courses and one drink each, we each had to ADD $27 in cash to cover coffee and tip. Ridiculous — but we had fun lunching above our station.
