Description:

What if the movie "The Boiler Room" took place in a bar? It would probably be a lot like Gramercy's new stock-market-themed Exchange Bar and Grill. The giant ticker above the bar isn't scrolling news about the day's Dow; it's ticking info about drink prices, which change due to supply and demand. If everyone wants to slam a vodka tonic at the same time, then the prices will go up. The drink costs will only rise and lower by 25-cent intervals, so you don't have to worry about losing your life savings if you slept through Economics 101. While the drink speculation goes on up front at the 35-foot bar, boozers seeking to escape the stress of the boiler bar can head to the back. There's a small seating area where you can chow down on bar food like wings and mozzarella sticks. If you're not much of a day trader, stop by for their happy hour. From noon to 7 p.m., beers go for $3 and well drinks are $5. With prices like that, maybe you'll have some money left over to invest.
