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...

Le Bernardin’s wine director, Aldo Sohm, said jackets and pants were on loan to those with Fetterman’s fashion sense.

🙂What a great stunt!😂
At this point we should just go back to togas as like the Roman senate.
Sen. John Fetterman has made wearing ill-fitting clothes his Senate trademark.
Americans don’t care about issues such as these. All they care about is killing their babies.
You can eat at Tucson’s finest restaurants dressed that way. We’re not snooty.
Lurch wore a black suit. With a tie.
Could have dined anywhere.
Uncle Fester would have some problems, though.
Now, a Michelin restaurant. That's different. That's something.
"If it wasn't for double standards, the Democrats would have no standards at all."
Animal House. They have the animal part of that down pat already.
I wonder if somebody could get into one of Schumer’s NYC offices dressed like that.
Probably not. Even with a llama on a leash, a Rabbi, a trapeze artist and a sandwich.
A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve food here.”
Three vampires walk into a bar. The first one says, “I’ll have a pint of blood.”
The second one says, “I’ll have one, too.”
The third one says, “I’ll have a pint of plasma.”
The bartender says, “So, that’ll be two Bloods and a Blood Lite?”
I don’t care what the dress code is, I’m not gonna pay $368.00 for a light meal.
Good for those who sent him packing!
I addressed a few dozen folks this morning at a political breakfast. In my welcome, I said something like:
“I am *not* before you this morning wearing a bathrobe. No, I haven’t gone crazy, or crazier if you know me well. Since we met last, our friend Senate Majority Leader Schumer has removed all dress codes from the Senate so the Senator from Pennsylvania could show up in basketball shorts and a hoodie. In the last couple days, Rand Paul showed up wearing a nice red bathrobe in protest, and I thought I might emulate and support Senator Paul. But I thought better of it! You can thank me later!”
It played pretty well.
I remember!
On my trips to NYC, I’ve proven that I can find good Mexican food anywhere. I’m more interested in good Mexican food than 5-star restaurants!
I guess Fetterman doesn’t eat out while he’s in DC. He only orders delivery.
