8. Older people in NYC restuarants are a sign of good food

Just like a Chinese restaurant full of Chinese people is a good sign, if you've got a mixed-age clientele -- and especially if you've got people 60+ -- you're likely to eat well.

There are so many trendy, pseudosexy restaurants in NYC with such miserable overpriced food. When you've got gaggles of crusty, bitchy, wealthy, picky old Manhattanites in a restaurant, folks with money to blow but no fucks to give. Well, you're probably going to eat well.

(If 90 year old Fidel Castro is in your restaurant, however, RUN!)
