New York’s First NFT Restaurant to Open in Times Square This Year

I think you confuse a thing or two. You got 15 bitcoin and use the Zuck as reference? :D

And yes that was the whole point of mine. The nouveau riche pretend to not give a fuck about class and the establishment. Yet everything they do screams wanting to belong. Their lack of formal education (not always but often) and proper attire as well as demeanor get them classed in the corner group of each golf club or other membership establishment. Makes me chuckle each time when I see the wannabes who enter airports with track suits or fleeze PJs pretending they don't give a fuck. If they gave no fuck they would not dress provocatively (which got actually many of them already ejected from airport lounges). They give very much a fuck and want to stir up, provoke, and tell the world they don't care, yet everything they do shows their entire life is organized to reflect their self-perceived image and class. Yet all they display is that they either won the lottery yesterday, came to money through criminal activity, or made a quick buck gambling, whether it be in financial markets, or elsewhere. Then you have the few rich daddy's kiddos mixed in. It's funny because all they display is a huge lack of self esteem and self confidence.

Not talking about you, I don't know you. But I think you can see those desperate persona now in almost every larger city. They think money buys them a place to belong yet they just created a class of their own that is disrespected by almost everyone else and all they are left with is competing for the most outrageous attire among themselves.

You ever read the New Market Wizards book? I know there was one guy there who was young and had long hair and was treated like a junior when going into meetings but he was the head honcho

You know why Mark Zuckerberg is always in a tshirt and hoodie sweatshirt when everyone around him, investment bankers, have to wear suits and ties? It's a fuck you statement to everyone that has to wear monkey suits around him

I haven't worn a coat and tie for over 10 years except on funerals of course

I always make sure that I wear a shirt with a collar no matter where I go if I can't get into a restaurant because of my attire, i don't give a fuck

I eat my Nigiri with a chopstick, I eat my steak medium well, I ask for Tabasco and A1 for my steak, if that's offensive to you or the restaurant, I don't give a fuck

You might be older than me, so don't want to give you advice, but you're a paying customer, and you have to go through all kinds of rituals to appear appropriate and to please people, that's cuck attitude, no offense

Me, I say fuck you to an establishment that doesn't want my money. I go somewhere else. Yea, they can get $$$ from others because celebrities go there, and other rich people, so fucking what? I see a celebrity, even if I recognize them, I don't give them a second look

Life's too short. I got news for you, everyone's shit stinks even the billionaires. Just make sure you wash all that shit off with soap and water or pay someone to do it for you, or else, your ass stinks, too

I said 18 Bitcoins (3 at exchange), you said attention to detail is important, but you missed it :D

I suppose you also missed the hundreds of thousands of $ in bank accounts, and I didn't mention I also have hundreds of thousands worth of stablecoins and cryptos but no way for you to know that

If you don't think I'm rich enough to eat at places that you go to, I don't give a fuck

If you see me in person, you will not notice me to stand out, as you said you were not referring to me, but remember I'm always thinking of security and attack surfaces, google Gray Man

If you don't remember, shirt with a collar, that's all, presentable, no flashy colored red shoes or anything flashy at all

I don't go out to disrespect the place or the people in the surroundings, but to repeat the point, if I can't get into a restaurant, II go somewhere else, I don't give a fuck

I enjoy my meals which I'm paying for anyway I want. Others think it's crude, I don't give a fuck

Having billions is not the point, but having self-respect is, as long as you can pay for the meal, you're the customer, and you do not have to kiss the sushi chef's ass, but you don't have be an asshole, either

Life's too short, go where you're treated well (-NomadCapitalist)

Correct. And it's absolutely bad manners to pick the fish or seafood portion of the sushi apart and dip the fish or seafood portion into soy sauce and then "re-assemble" the sushi. Also it's bad manner to mix wasabi into the soy sauce. Have seen both done multiple times at even reservation and referral only restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto. So are there manners which fish or seafood to order and eat before others. Most have no clue because the chef is preparing the sushi in a course menu and serving in the right order.

But then most self declared experts equally can't tell wine or even types of beer apart when being blindfolded. Many public experiments have proven that. When not being put to the test there are a lot of people, especially nouveau riche, who claim to know all sorts of things. I have seen guys in Ferraris and all sorts of super sports cars who could not even properly drive. When sitting in high end restaurants a knowledgeable person can usually immediately tell apart those who are pretentious and just maintain an image from true connoisseurs.

I grew up blue collar, always was curious if the stereotypes in this book are parody or not, maybe you could share some insight;

I love sushi!! But wife is not a fan, lol

Caesar's Palace Las Vegas Nobu was kind of a letdown for me, but maybe I should give it another chance, we only ate there once

I have not had the very expensive sushi, so forgive me if I say that the best sushi I had was at Kabuki, for some reason it was really good that one time

I find sushi on the west coast is not bad either. They have fresh crabs not just imitation crabs for nigiri and that was a treat. I ate at San Diego few years back and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I read a book once about sushi etiquette. I didn't buy it. I saw a colleague reading it and asked if I can borrow it and he lent it to me to read. First. the order of the sushi is that, you are supposed to eat sashimis first, then nigiris, and then sushi rolls last with the light-tasting ones first moving gradually to stronger-tasting ones. So usually you are supposed to eat like red snapper, butter fish first and then salmon, tuna at last so that way you will be able to taste the lighter tasting pieces more adequately before your taste buds are overwhelmed by the stronger-tasting sashimi pieces. You are supposed to eat yellowtail before salmon and tuna but because yellowtail is usually the best part of a tuna and is my favourite sashimi piece so I usually eat yellowtail last. As to eating the pieces, you are supposed to dip it lightly in the soy sauce and then put the whole thing in your mouth all at once. You are not supposed to break it apart and eat parts of it at a time. And after you dip it in the sauce, you are not supposed to shake the nigiri to shake off the excess sauce so you are not supposed to dip it a lot into the sauce. The soy sauce is not supposed to overwhelm the taste. It's the actual food that you are supposed to be tasting. You can eat the pieces either with chopsticks or your hand, that's fine. Oh and you are supposed to drink the miso soup first before the sashimis and the sushis.

That's all I remembered from the book.

OMG, what is with this Sushi etiquette? Who is the one dictating how and in what order you should eat your food? Is it the Japanese Samurai overlord who is staring down at you from above, ready to chop your head off if you don't "do it right"?

This must be the Japanese equivalent of the WASP way to place the utensils on the table. Forks on left, knives and spoons on right, etc etc etc.

WTF! lol

Somebody once told me those table manners and eating etiquette is a way of showing respect to others. Table manners is showing respect to other fellow eaters and eating etiquette in this case for eating sushi is showing respect and appreciation as well as admiration to the chef who has gone into great efforts in preparing the meal for you in that you eat the meal in a way that showcases best the chef's talent and efforts and allows you at the same time to get the most out of the meal so in the end it is still benefitting you.

Nothing to do with race or social class or whatever. Overthinking again, @Overnight :)

New York’s First NFT Restaurant to Open in Times Square This Year
Plus, Sixpoint Brewery is headed to Downtown Brooklyn — and more intel

Brooklyn Chop House will soon be home to New York’s first NFT restaurant.
Brooklyn Chop House
Manhattan steakhouse Brooklyn Chop House is preparing to open a massive second location in Times Square, a 25,000-square-foot space that will include New York’s newest NFT restaurant. The steakhouse, from owner Stratis Morfogen, the vaccine mandate protester also behind the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop chain, is spread out over five levels, with six private dining rooms, three bars, a rooftop, and — yes — a private cellar that will eventually house a members-only NFT restaurant. It opens March 14.

According to the New York Post, the exclusive club will open in a cellar space in the restaurant this May and only be accessible to customers with a membership purchased using the cryptocurrency Ethereum. The starting price for entry is around $8,000, with additional perks for those who pay more. A $20,000 “gold membership” includes reservations for up to 20 people a month, according to the Post, while a $100,000 “platinum membership” allows customers to place delivery orders from the club.

This is, alas, a trend. In January, Eater reported that NFT evangelist and former Resy founder Gary Vaynerchuk planned to open the world’s ‘first NFT restaurant’ in NYC in 2023. The forthcoming business, called Flyfish Club, requires membership that can only be purchased using cryptocurrency. The lowest priced membership is 2.5 Ethereum, according to the company’s website — around $6,500 at the time of publishing.
