    All it takes is to send this guy's email address to a Scientology org saying he's interested in some orientation materials, and he'll be deluged with bullshit pamphlets for life. Deluged!

    Paradou did get my email. The dude sends out emails all the times. Sometimes 2 or 3 times with corrections and such.

    Wow. Paradou has a listing on Citysearch.

    [newyork.citysearch.com]

    I bet Vadim depends a lot on the reviews.

    And here is the listing on Yelp!

    [www.yelp.com]

    And the Twitter handle

    www.twitter.com/paradou

    I wonder how Vadim would feel about the Gawker community having their input on these forums.

    New York Restaurant Owners Turn Evil?

    I read somewhere that 86% of the meat served in New York restaurants is actually rat.

    Of course, that's probably an urban legend. Restaurants could never get away with it, unless they mixed in a significant amount of chihuahua for flavor.

    I don't give my email address to just anyone who asks, especially a wait person. That is one jerkoff boss.

    If any of the waitstaff is reading this story, remember how easy it is to make up fake email addresses when that creepy person asks you to Friend them?
    Same solution here. You can always blame "those FUCKING LAZY DISRESPECTFUL ASSHOLE customers" for spoofing your boss' crappy-assed spamming attempts.

    Bonus points for tracking down random emails of people working at the NYC Booze Police, health inspectors and sites catering to underaged escorts likely monitored by the FBI, and inviting them to your boss' email-palooza.

    @hamburgerhotdog: I'm going to write this down on a post-it, which I will carry around with me, and use it any time I'm asked to provide an email address for something not-important.

    Thanks!

    @sanyucat: What I can never figure out is how mine will be the color of the sweater I was wearing that day, even though I wear a shirt underneath it. Does that lint magically travel through the shirt?!

    @lostarchitect: I don't live in NY so I do not know what kind of restaurant this is...but when I go to nice meal I don't expect to be asked for my email address. It would make me feel as if I'm at Old Navy, being asked to complete an online/telephone survey for some random discount. I hate that crap.

    @bboston88: I 100% agree. If they have a guestbook by the door with the option to leave it, I might if I really liked the place. If they ask me I will say no for sure. It's just rude.

    This is a fairly nice place. It's not jacket and tie nice, but not much is these days.
