Lounge/Low key food with non-alcoholic drinks

I'm looking for a lounge-ish type place with good food to go with a with a friend of mine that serves non-alcoholic drinks. She's a bit of a foodie, but she's also under 21, and feels a bit awkward when we're out after work for "drinks" and food when all she can order is juice or soda. So, any place with good app-type food and a non-alcoholic drinklist would be great. Any thoughts?

    You can get non alcholic drinks ANYWHERE, but how about a hookah bar or something like that.

      The original poster specified non-alcoholic drinks *other* than juice and soda. In other words, GOOD non-alcoholic drinks. I'd like to find a place like this too, something *inexpensive* and not insanely loud on a Friday evening, with good food.

        Yes, you can ask for any drink off of a drink menu without the alcohol. Try Room Service on 21st

      I was just down on Stone Street at the Smorgas Chef there and their extensive, interesting cocktail list said that all drinks can be ordered virgin, and for 50% off, too. Not sure how lounge-ish the other more midtown locations are but the atmosphere yesterday on Stone St was very convivial and fun - perfect as we near the end of summer (tear).
      What area(s) are you looking to be in?

        Anywhere midtown and below, and the upper east side. Nothing against the UWS, but it's just rather inconvenient from where we're at. Thanks for the info!

          You can try Perry St or the Tavern Room of Gramercy Tavern. They have quite a few non-alcholic drinks. The creative soda at Perry St. are quite delicious!

          Both serve very good food.
