Dylan Prime Lounge

Dylan Prime was a Tribeca steakhouse on Greenwich Street, and its lounge next door was where Michael Waterhouse created the Key Lime Pie cocktail^{1, 2}. We knew the lounge for its eighty-five-dollar martini glass that held forty-eight ounces, with a cheese and olive plate on the side: twelve martinis' worth, which by our arithmetic came to about seven dollars each, and a bargain.

The steakhouse opened in 2000³. In 2013 the state seized it for nonpayment of taxes, and the owner filed for bankruptcy the same year¹. It reopened after a nine-month hiatus and a refurbishment⁴. The second act ran until August 2015, when signs in the window said the restaurant had closed³.

By 2018 the 62 Laight Street address had gone to John Allan's Salon, to set it apart from the corner space facing Greenwich⁵. Since early May 2026 it has been the Audo Copenhagen showroom⁶.
