Paleo-Restaurant

[anothermagyar]

Guys! It's a great idea!
I had this thought in my mind a while ago open a Paleo Restaurant in NYC. I'm a personal chef btw.
I imagined waiters waitresses running around in Flintstone-costumes!
:D
It would be great place to not only giving the right food for people, but promoting EE, and as suggested:

"Dot Connector Mag on table"

I know it's wishful thinking on my part I don't have the funds to open a restaurant. :(

What would those greedy, emotionless psychos trying to get rid of supplements have to say about that.?.?.?

"Real" food, available healthy options, great thought provoking entertaining theme, "fun" educational opportunities, with exposure to the Work in a non-threatening manner. I like this, BUT...

Are there any market researchers here on-board with views? With the World's population in their current mental state, is this even a viable option?

A restaurant with a Cave Painting theme... call it "The Mammoth's Tusk" or something?

Also, an assorted selection of organic tobacco products (Yuma, American Spirit...) on the counter would round up the Paleo-Restaurant and the Dot Connector :D

Sounds definitely like a good business plan to me

Has anybody ever checked into the legality of "smoking bars" - places just FOR smoking? Is such a thing possible, like a loophole in the many anti-smoking laws?

In Austria it's possible, as long as the space is smaller than 50m2, if memory serves. In case of a bigger place, it has to be split into a smoking and a non-smoking section, where the smoking section can't exceed more than 50% of the area. Most places I've been to lately have a smoking room, which I've observed usually filling up first. Only once it's full, people will start using the non-smoking room :)

You're doing better than us here in the US. Tobacco smoking indoors is only legal in a few states anymore. As for places for smoking though, hookah bars still seem to be socially acceptable.

EDITORIAL: Uphold smoking ban
Toledo (OH) Blade, 2011-04-10

Five years ago, Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved a state law that bans smoking in workplaces, including bars, restaurants, and clubs. Since then, Ohioans' support for, and compliance with, the law has continued to grow.

In The Netherlands a few years back there has been a famous court case to try and uphold freedom of smoking in bars that employ no personell (waiters and such). Those bars are owned and run by just one self employed person. The loophole targeted the main reason for the smoking ban over here, which allegedly serves only to protect workers from second hand smoke from customers and to provide healthy work environments. In lower courts they won their case only to find this decision overthrown up higher. Read all about it here:

In Serbia, its posible to have all smoking bar, no space dividing. But they pay higher taxes, and drink and food is more expensive in them (which I discover by chance, when was surprised how my bill is so high :) )
