You appreciate the convenience of eating out but the constant chit-chat in the background annoys you? Then you will love the "Eat" restaurant in New York City's fashionable Greenpoint neighbourhood. The restaurant's name is minimalistic (and so is the furniture), but says it all. At "Eat", you should only eat - not talk, nor use your mobile phone.
The owner says he was inspired to hold "silent dinners" after speding some time with Buddhist monks in India. At first he wanted to organise one silent dinner each month. His restaurant only seats 25 people, though, and a lot more than that were interested in the project. Now there are weekly no-talking menus, but costumers still have to reserve days in advance.
Every no-talking meal consists of four courses, each based on local organic ingredients, and costs $40.
If you want to find out more about this restaurant or plan to join a silent dinner, have a look at their facebook page.
