They are all OK but you have to do them in the correct order in Vegas!

I don't know about this article. In La Jolla where we live, we regularly eat at all the top restaurants (had dinner last night at Nine-10) and people wear jeans, and even shorts, at all of them. But maybe this holds true for NYC.

It's really not worth your time....

"Don't be afraid to speak up about food allergies".... "Don't yell 'waiter'!"....etc.

Jeans are ok, but he had skinny jeans and a man bun. He's lucky he didn't get a lifetime ban on the spot!!

Bartenders love when you snap your fingers at them.

Thanks for the heads up.

superdog · 7 July 2017, 06:16 AM

I tend to either snap or whistle to get a wait staff person.

I get some funny looks sometimes, but it works like a charm.

It could be worse.

I was just watching an Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown episode on Myanmar, and apparently you attract your waiter there by making kissing noises.

He showed a whole room of diners making kissing noises at the wait staff. It was odd to say the least.

Many of the top restaurants in NYC have relaxed dress codes. Typically a shirt with collar is mandatory and no sweats or team logo's. Jeans are a tricky thing because some guys can pull off jeans with a jacket and others cannot

Off the top of my head, I think only Jean Georges, Per Se, and Daniel have a jacket requirement.

Business Insider typically has some pretty interesting reads but this was awful

That doesn't work too well down here. I've seen a bartender kick a guy out for doing that. It was awesome. She was about 5'11, 190lbs or so and tossed that guy around like a rag doll. It was awesome!!!

ejvette · 7 July 2017, 07:45 AM

That's 3 minutes of my life I can't get back

One Ping Only · 7 July 2017, 10:02 AM

That was so horrible I had the read to the end to see if there was anything redeeming.

Nope.

Etschell · 7 July 2017, 10:21 AM

I never make these mistakes in a restaurant. In fact I don't drink wine ever. I order what I want and I'm not dumb enough to offend someone who is serving me food.

Old Expat Beast · 7 July 2017, 10:38 AM

They lost me at "fancy restaurant". What is this, my 14th birthday?
