If you're coming to NY, be ready to pay dearly for dinner and drinks. Not only are you legally bound to pay your check (of course), but you're morally and socially bound to give a 15%-20% tip. Don't ask me why, that's just the way it is. If you buy a drink and do not tip a bartender at all, you'll go straight to hell. Don't ask me why, that's just the way it is. OK, if the service is particularly bad, you don't need to tip, but you still may go to hell, I'm not sure. (Can you tell I bartend at night?)
Pros: Server? Good and bad nights. Consumer?Good service
Cons: Server? Good and bad nights. Consumer? Costs more
