The last restaurant in New York that requires men to wear a tie has finally given in and changed its dress code.
Jackets are still required, but while ties are "preferred" at dinner they are no longer mandatory. A sad development -- it was nice to know that there was one last holdout against casual dress -- but I suppose it was inevitable.
Alan Flusser, quoted in the NY Times, huffed "I don't think this sends the right message to young people."
