In real life, men do the same thing at dinner. I am thinking if men needn't have to wear ties at dinner. In that way, they look more relaxing. A piece of news says that 21 Club in New York has stopped requiring men guests to wear neckties at dinner. The manager said:" Time changes and they should keep pace with times." However, casual clothes such as jeans and sneakers are still not accepted. What do you think of this idea? Do men have to wear ties at dinner?

Necktie......(IMO) about the most useless piece of clothing besides the "girdle"
that was created by the western world(?).

Not only do both restrict the ability to breath properly but they probably take 3+ years
away from a persons average lifespan.

People in the eastern cultures had it correct all along. Loose fitting garments that were
comfortable. "To heck" with trying to impress people while choking yourself to death.

I wanna my customers to enjoy their dinner in a casual and comfort way. They needn't worry about their white shirts and ties when eating food. They come here for having delicious food, not attending meetings.
