Would You Livestream a Dinner Date To the Whole World?

Feedback on your conversational gambits and table manners is almost always edifying for self-improvement buffs...JL

Kaitlyn Tiffany and Lizzie Plaugic report in The Verge:

When you eat dinner there (a live-stream themed restaurant in Brooklyn), it is live-streamed to the restaurant’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. If you agree to be interviewed on camera, you can get 10 percent off your check. Either way, the menu’s fine print points out that Live on Air can "use your likeness, mannerism, and voice without compensation or credit."


Live on Air is a recently opened “Louisiana-American bistro” at 335 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. When you eat dinner there, it is live-streamed to the restaurant’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. If you agree to be interviewed on camera, you can get 10 percent off your check. Either way, the menu’s fine print points out that Live on Air can "use your likeness, mannerism, and voice without compensation or credit." The Verge went there recently to see what it feels like to eat in front of the entire connected world.
