Solo bar dining near Lincoln Center

[ukitali]

Any place in the area (within 10 blocks) where I can get a good early (pre-8pm) dinner at a bar/counter? I'd prefer something not super formal or expensive...under $30 for food only. When I'm in the area I usually grab a bite at Epicerie Boulud but I'd prefer a place where I can actually sit down. Any kind of cuisine is ok.

Salumeria Rosi is nice. You can have a glass of wine and some Italian snacks and meats.

Bar Boulud, obviously -- it's my go to place for pre-opera meals.
Cafe Luxembourg -- that's my second choice.
Indie Food and Wine

Indie Food and Wine. No bar/counter but you could sit comfortably at a table. I would think this would be at least as good as bar/counter.*

* Edit: Actually, there is a counter. Faces West 65th St; good people-watching
