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...

He looks more like chit in regular clothes. That hood is to cover his ugly neck, I’m thinking.
Ut oh...wait til Chuck U Schumer finds out about this NY discrimination 😱
He could wear a turtle neck go hide that, like Steve Jobs.

See that’s the nice part about living on a city that isn’t snooty. If you want to dress up, you can dress up. If you don’t want to you don’t have to. Nobody looks out of place, nobody is judging, nobody is worried about anybody else.
Depends on the wedding. “Appropriate” has many definitions. I’ve seen people married in SCA garb, biker leathers, hippie tie-dye. It’s a big world. Lotta different people.
I’d love to see all Republican Senators wear hoodies with political messages on them. FJB, Trump 2024, The Gadsden Flag, picture of Hunter from his laptop, a picture from the border, and any other message they felt inclined to wear. And do it everyday.
That would be worse.
That would be cool.
Man in the pic is wearing socks, I don’t believe Festerman wears socks.
It's not the meal, it's who's there that you want to network with. $368 is nothing when it comes to million or billion dollar deals.
Of course, there are also those dining on the taxpayers' dime.
Look what happened to air travel. Up until the mid to late 80’s people dressed up to fly, now its a basic cattle car with cows wearing spandex and daisy duke shorts

Wonderful!
Agreed. Republicans have for too long been afraid to stand up and protest Democrats bad behavior and bad policies. Like they used to say Democrats protest and Republicans work. In my opinion the open border needs a million man protest by deputized citizens. Something needs done.
Were the Dems afraid Repubs were becoming the activists on Jan 6 for first time ever?. Ok some went overboard. Did the Dems and others construct a scenario where security forces were kept out and insiders and others used to create false turmoil. The event will be used for years to stifle protest from the right. While BLM and Antifa go scot free.
So maybe a few Repubs in Senate and Congress doing the clothing or some other rebellious thing might be a way to change perception.
Dod Rand Paul REALLY do that??
BULL!! He’s a LAZY ASS SLOB BLOB and almost human, although he has a long way to go.
I see guys at weddings and funerals with t- shirts and jeans!!! Pathetic.
When he was ought for months, because he was “DEPRESSED”, he got that lump taken off his neck.....you can see the long scar, but no lump.....at least from a couple of pics I saw.
