Affordable lunch near the Met?

[netster]

Hi! I would like some suggestions for lunch near the Met that is open on Monday. Are there any good pubs where you can get a great burger? I don't want to go to a chain restaurant and am looking for a classic NY place along the lines of Fanelli's and JG Melon's. Thanks!

If you actually want Mellon's as opposed to something like it, there's one fairly near the Met -- on 3rd, near 74th I think.

I can't think of anything exactly along those lines, but there is a Nectar coffee shop at 82nd & Madison - haven't tried their burgers. It is a local chain of coffee shops.
