    Global warming story has reached only #4 on the nyt most-emailed list. This is what they have as their top story:

    Folks, this all makes me really miss Florent, Shopsins and other old school places that had quirky owners who still cared for their patrons and their staff even if they were idiosyncratic.

    That is what is dying in NYC. A-holes like this fill the gap... With B.S.

    @SpyMagician: I miss Flo, Rio Mar, Hell, these were places that kept employees for a millenia. Probably cause they treated their staff with respect. This is a dying metropolis.

    @Ernest Gonzalez: Indeed. But I see the backlash against this asshat as a positive. People are starting to wake up to the fact that if you are going to pay to go out, you should do so at a place that is good and treats everyone well.

    Clearly there are more effective ways to communicate with your staff, but few could be more entertaining than this --- except if you happen to work for the guy. I say the angriest staff member should post Vadim's favorite email address and let's give him more than his demanded quota of emails people. Know what I mean?

    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.
