We (party of 6) stopped in after my son's graduation for an early dinner.  Just before we stopped at Starbucks for an iced tea.  My mother still had her iced tea when we walked in and the bartender immediately said that we could not come in with the iced tea.  I asked to speak with his manager and he said \"he will tell you the same thing\".  We walked out and went across the parking lot to NYPD and spent $125 on dinner & drinks and had great service.  I will NEVER come back to this place.  *** Update *** Following is a message sent to me from what was obviously an employee of APC:\n\nWell not to be rude but it is against the liquor laws to have outside food or beverages In a restaurant and I know first hand there is a sign outside the door there that states it. So if you get mad at a restaurant for following the rules then you are not a customer that restaurants want.  Tara S\n\n* Just another reason to never go back and to make sure I tell all my friends and family about the experience.
