I'm NYC born & bred, and I don't believe this story for a minute.
The place sounds like a firetrap, the Fire Dept needs to shut it down.
Considering the source can we be sure this is true? NYC restaurants are like prostitutes--if you have money they have the time.
This sounds totally made up.

This is a newer spot on Lower East Side, and they said they don't take reservations for a group smaller than 6, but he always gets a call or a visit before any security problem notables arrive, (this is standard for popular spots, I know from personal experience) he would have been told of the Presidents kids where on the way and no call or visit happened..
This is an urban myth in the making.. Of course I wasn't there but it sounded fishy to me, because this wouldn't be a wise move at all, no matter where it is. I believe him.
They can come over to my humble little home and I can cook 'em up some of the finest meals I can find on the outstanding FReeper recipe threads.
Anytime.
I'm in a blue zone on a business trip at the moment. This is a dark and strange place - I do believe this, actually - while most people appear to me to just be carrying on with life as per usual, there are signs and hints of people choking on their sour grapes. I have been borrowing an office of someone who has a bumper sticker for "MOB" (Mothers Opposing Bush) on their corkboard. Next to my office was one with someone who still has a Kerry / Edwards sticker on their board. I've gone out to dinner with people who seem to think that it's unheard of to not vote for Kerry if you're from this particular region, it's almost a matter of regional identification for some to believe what the DNC says.
It's very strange. These people criticise conservatives for being closed-minded and ignorant, yet they are adhering to narrow prejudices, some based upon area of residence. And some appear to have no limit to the lengths they will go in adhering to a bias.

Wow, the idle rich can't get a seat in a plush restaraunt.
It's a Constitutional crisis.
What is someone reported finding a roach or rodent hair in their food at Freemans...hint, hint, hint
I'VE BEEN DUPED !!!!!!!!!
The restaurant just called my cell phone (that's the # i left with them) about my "reservation" tomorrow and said they "have a party coming in tomorrow night" (whatever the hell that means) but i can still save reservation if i leave them a credit card number.
THEY ARE ONTO US :(
This story stinks like 3 day-old fish.
Any resaurateur in Manhattan would give his right arm to have the glamorous Bush girls stop in for a meal and a drink.
Think of the free publicity--worth thousands!
If the manager did diss the Glam Girls, he should be fired on the spot for sheer stupidity.
And NOBODY buys rounds in NYC restaurants--at least not since Jackie Gleason died.
This better not be true.
Its Time for for some Freeper Blues Brothers to Dine.
Was it ever confirmed that this story is total BS? It would have been all over the news if it was true.
Just got reply regarding the Bush twins being turned away at Freeman's Restaurant in NYC:
Regarding the Internet rumors, no member of Freeman’s staff made any derogatory or discriminating comments towards Jenna or Barbara Bush. We are a non-partisan establishment and pride ourselves on having a diverse clientele. The Bush twins or any member of the first family are welcome to join us for dinner anytime.
