The Post tried eating at NYC’s finest restaurants dressed like Sen. John Fetterman — see how it went
NY Post ^ | 23 September A.D. 2023 | John Levine

Sen. John Fetterman may be allowed to dress like a slob in the halls of power — but it’s still a capital offense in New York City’s finest restaurants.

Intrepid Post reporter Jon Levine learned that hard truth this week when he crisscrossed the Big Apple’s culinary landmarks wearing Fetterman’s trademark hoodie, gym shorts and sneakers and tried to gain entry...

“He would not be permitted here,” sniffed a maître d at Daniel on the Upper East Side, where a seven-course tasting menu runs $275...

“We have turned away guests for being improperly dressed regardless of their occupation,” she continued.

At famed Le Bernardin, a suited maître d named Julien served up an amuse bouche of stink-eye when The Post arrived.

“No athletic wear,” he said flatly, staring The Post down and denying even a nibble of chef Eric Ripert’s $480 dinner and wine pre-fixe menu....

At the double-Michelin star Jean-Georges near Columbus Circle, no less than four sentinels outside its dining room vetoed The Post’s entry, ending the dream of feasting on the famed $368, 10-course tasting menu that includes caviar salad, king crab and smoked squab.

“Inside we don’t allow shorts,” said one, repeatedly insisting it would be “impossible” to get around the dress code, which also forbids jeans, sneakers and sweatshirts.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s Lady Gaga,” chimed in another.

A third was so stunned by the sartorial sacrilege, she couldn’t even finish her sentence.

“I’ve never had anyone come in dressed like …” New York Post reporter Jon Levine stands dejectedly outside of the restaurant Daniel in New York City

The Post was allowed to use the bathroom...

It wasn’t all bad news for Fetterman.

The Post strode into Nobu and Gramercy Tavern without so much as a peep...

There are a lot of other things that they could be standing up for.

Republicans stand up for the trite.

Maybe if Fetterman didn’t want to dress for the job he has, he shouldn’t have ran for it? He IS a slob and disgrace to the institution, among other things.

>>$480 dinner?

That includes the wine pairings. $310 without wine.

" That hood is to cover his ugly neck, I’m thinking."

He does have that large unsightly growth
on the back of his neck. I guess he's probably
rather self-conscious about it being noticed
by the public.

So Fetterman should just wear a high turtle neck shirt with a SUIT. Not boxer shorts.

So with a drink and a tip that brings lunch to about $700.00. That seems fair.

jeans at work to suit and tie, people showed respect.

Or you recognize that’s superficial thinking. OK t-shirt at a funeral is probably bad. Maybe. Honestly I want my funeral to be fun. I want people to listen to music and drink and remember the times I made them laugh. I since I spent 99.9% of my life in t-shirts that’s probably how they should be dressed.

Software. The first industry to realize putting a noose around your neck everyday doesn’t make you do better work.

If just one airline would enforce a dress code, I’ll bet it would be a huge success. They’d likely attract the finest, most well behaved passengers

This is not the 1950s. All the American airlines are budget airlines. We want cheap fares, not first class.

We didn’t even necessarily want first class in the 50s. Airline industry was highly regulated, they really weren’t allowed to compete on price. Once Carter de-regulated prices went through the floor, and suddenly most Americans could afford to fly. Of course, that’s when they became cattle cars. But we can all fly.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with that. If you're truly wealthy, you can buy a gulfstream.

It's not the 1950s??? Aww! You're so adorable, Minoritardy! I postulate a valid theory that you clearly misunderstood and then jumped right in to both lecturing (with the obvious) AND boring me with what "we" want. So, I'll take your bait: Who's "we", exactly, Miss Mini-Fetterman?

People are not going to dress up in a suit and spend $500 on a flight from Atlanta to New York.

Things have changed. We'll rather pay $150 for a ticket and wear a hoodie and shorts instead.

Well, Minoritardo, your redundancy and advocacy for your Fettermentality per this made up "we" thing has really not been an effective argument. Now you're even making up airfare prices to justify your mental laziness. For the SECOND TIME, who's this "we", you're talking about?
