“Whats a “tony” steakhouse?”
________________________________________

“tony” is a pretty outdated term for high or upper class.
I have not heard it used in many years.

That is one of those ‘if you have to ask’ questions, you probably shouldn’t go in. <:

Like if you are interviewing for a job, probably not a good idea to ask the interviewer “what does an Addadictome Technician do?” if that was in the job description.

The only place I see it used is in the Daily News and the NY Post. It might come from ‘high-toned.’ Upscale would be the best definition, I guess.
