So we recently checked in with The New York Daily Photo site and were surprised to hear that the super trendy French bistro, Pastis, has a no-photo policy inside the restaurant. The ban prompted Brian, editor and photographer of the photo-blog, to hastily shoot the two images above from the outside, writing “These photos were taken quickly – I was prevented from taking photographs inside – many restaurants are sensitive about this.” But they do appreciate you visiting their virtual tour and scanning the permissible images on their website. It’s a French diner for fuck’s sake. However, the real dilemma is trying to figure out who’s the bigger pussy, Pastis for having the rule or Brian for following it. And just to see how vigorous they are in enforcing that rule, we will send something free to the first person to snap some shots inside. Images of managers or waiters trying to block the camera will get extra bonus points.
