Favorite Skyline Shots

Aside... nothing was cooler than a 16 year old (read me) taking
a date to the restaurant and signing the tab afterwards. Did you
know the menu for the female didn't have prices listed? Today's
restaurants could learn a thing or two from that barbaric custom.

How did your date know how much to pay then?

[Prunepicker]

She wasn't supposed to know. There were no prices so she could
honestly and truly order what she wanted without reservation.

But that doesn't answer the question about how she could know how much she would have to pay. Surely she would want to know ahead of time. LOL

Wait...there was a male menu and a female menu? Did they have separate gender-specific water fountains too?

I used to go to a restaurant in Miami that had no prices on any menu. Was a favorite of one of my clients. Always made me nervous when he wanted to go there. It wasn't cheap.

I don't see the menu thing as bad, just depends on the situation. If you don't want your date to know how much the item is so she doesn't feel guilty, is that a bad thing? The water fountain thing is just stupid and I highly doubt they would be like that. There is no reason to separate the water fountains.

I don't know, perhaps you should ask a roomful of women. Regarding the water fountain thing, I think you missed my cultural reference entirely.

So if segregation in any form for any reason is bad (in your opinion), how do you feel about unisex rest rooms or fitting rooms in a public facility? Even the "equal opportunity" folk seem to realize that certain jobs might be gender-specific...

That was a normal procedure until the late 70's. The man was given a menu
with prices and the woman was given a menu that didn't have prices. The
idea was to allow the woman to order what she wanted without reservation.
Of course, if the woman ordered something off the charts the man had the
ability to suggest something else or change his order to offset her order.

I did it many times at the Chandelle Club in the Founder's Tower. I loved
it when she'd order thechateaubriand. It was only $30 for two.

Oh good grief, this is so anti feminist. Not that it matters.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel like I'm hanging out in the Princess Bride story myself.

Where did I pass judgement? I said ask a roomful of (today's) women how they feel about such a thing. You might get mixed results, but you would definitely get a raw earful from some of them. The water fountain thing was an intentionally ridiculous comparison, but it makes the point that those are customs of a bygone era.

[Urbanized]

By the way, fitting rooms in many if not most stores these days are co-ed, with (as fas as I know) a low incidence of sexual assault or public copulation.

Back to topic, please. Mine was a casual and lighthearted remark not meant to spark public debate and hand-wringing.

What does that have to do with anything? If I am just taking a date, I would prefer her not knowing prices of the items she can get so she will feel more comfortable ordering whatever she pleases. I do this out of respect and wanting to make her experience joyful.

Well the way most people act now a days trying to look for a reason to get offended, I'm sure it would not be popular.

Don't know which ones your going to, but the ones I've been are divided.

Anyways, I agree, back to topic.

So you've been to such a place recently? Doubt it.

Hey, on some base level I'd probably love to be able to smoke a cigar and pat stewardesses on the behind every time I fly, but those days are in the past too. It's a different world today than what was described in that post, and that was my only point. Stop being so butthurt, people.

You have an amazing amount of pictures. Do you pre edit them with a computer program or strictly with instagram filters?

[KayneMo]

Thank you!

I use an app to edit them, Snapseed, and then use an Instagram filter.
