Tokyo's naked restaurant bans elderly, overweight and tattooed patrons

Tokyo's naked restaurant bans elderly, overweight and tattooed patrons

TOKYO, June 13 (UPI) -- A Tokyo pop-up restaurant is joining the nude dining trend, but with a twist: there are age and weight limits for enjoying a meal in the buff.

.

The Amrita, named for the Sanskrit word for "immortality," is scheduled to open July 29 in Tokyo, following on the clothes-free heels of similar nude dining experiences in London and Australia.

The Tokyo eatery's website lists some important differences from its overseas counterparts, including bans on tattoos, people over the age of 60 and anyone whose weight is 33 or more pounds over the "average body weight" for their height.

.

The website says customers will not be completely nude for their meals, instead trading in their street clothes for "paper underpants" provided by the establishment.

The Amrita also boasts "Men's Show" performances featuring male models from the United States and Europe dancing in G-string underwear.

London restaurant to encourage nude dining in 'Pangaea-like' atmosphere

LONDON, April 21 (UPI) -- The creators of a planned pop-up restaurant in London where diners will be encouraged to eat in the nude conceded it might not be "a first date venue."

.

Development firm Lollipop announced its latest project, a pop-up eatery called The Bunyadi, is scheduled to open in June and will encourage customers to go au naturel as part of the business' efforts to create a "Pangaea-like world."

.

The eatery, which already has a reservation waiting list more than 13,000 patrons long, will include a special changing area where visitors will be asked to store their cellphones, clothes and other belongings. The restaurant will provide special robes for patrons that they will then be free to shed in their dining area at their own discretion.

.

"We believe people should get the chance to enjoy and experience a night out without any impurities: no chemicals, no artificial colors, no electricity, no gas, no phone and even no clothes if they wish to. The idea is to experience true liberation," Lollipop founder Seb Lyall said.

.

"We have worked very hard to design a space where everything patrons interact with is bare and naked. The use of natural bamboo partitions and candlelight has enabled to us to make the restaurant discreet, whilst adhering to the ethos behind it. No doubt, this has been the most challenging project for us yet, which makes us very excited about it," Lyall said.

.

Lyall said the restaurant, which is planned to operate for three months, is likely to appeal to vegans and naturists.

.

However, he conceded it might not be ideal for all situations: "It won't be a first date venue but certainly second dates and dinner with friends."

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Ummm, I don't really see myself breaking my neck trying to get in. I mean sitting where other people's naked butts have been, sometimes after they've gone to the restroom. Not quite the most appealing thing I can think of just to sit and see people naked. I mean I've never been to Black's beach that's how much I'm dying to look at naked strangers. But it obviously floats some people's boat. A whole lot of people just aren't that attractive butt naked, even if they aren't elderly, overweight or tattooed. Ha, just thinking about having to get on a scale before you can enter a resturant. The showing your ID part in the reverse fashion I guess would be weird too.

Naked man outside Waffle House caught on video

.http://www.ajc.com/news/news/crime-law/customer-films-naked-man-outside-sandy-springs-waf/nrgMt/

Visitors to a Sandy Springs Waffle House got an eyeful after police say a naked man tried to force his way into the restaurant.

A Waffle House employee on Northside Drive can be heard in a 911 call describing a naked man urinating outside the windows where customers were eating June 7.

“This is the Waffle House. A gentleman just got out of his car and is naked standing in front of my door,” the employee said on the call obtained by Channel 2 Action News. “He just peed on my door and now he’s walking inside. ‘Sir, you cannot come in here.’”

Amy Stivender told police the man pulled up in a beige BMW and parked in the middle of the travel lane, according to the police report.

When the man paced back and forth in front of the restaurant, Derwin Mitchell, a customer, started filming on his smartphone. He streamed the video live on Facebook, according to Channel 2.

“It kind of shocked me as a customer, ruined my meal,” Mitchell told the news station. “I immediately went to video. I didn’t know what he was going to do.”

Police said Bashir Rasheed, 36, was only coherent enough to show he knew where he was, but he couldn’t tell officers why he was naked. Rasheed grabbed himself and started urinating while officers were speaking to him, according to the report.

Officers took Rasheed to Northside Hospital for a medical evaluation, releasing him with a ticket for public indecency.

He had the true all naturale caveman experience. None of that mamby pamby mess of showing up clothed getting a robe. Heck show up as you are, pee on the porch and take a squat around the campfire, that's the true natural way to live.

Hate to stereotype but overweight people LOVE restaurants. I suppose if a naked restaurant is the first of its kind then we are to expect some body discrimination, but this story kind of sucks. confused

There are a lot of stinky, unwashed, oily "pretty" skinny people too. neutral So, enjoy I guess.
