A restaurant slated to open early next year in Tribeca promises to leave diners in the dark - literally.
Blind waiters will be serving up French cuisine at Dans le Noir? New York, in a windowless space devoid of light.
"It's a sensory culinary experience," said manager Celine Djezvedjian. "This is an experience that will allow people to discover and rediscover the food and wine they already know."
Clumsy foodies have nothing to fear, Djezvedjian said.
In the six years since the unconventional restaurant first opened in Paris, there has not been a single incident. In fact, it has been so successful - and safe - that Dans le Noir? - French for "In the Black?" - now has outposts in London and Moscow.
"We take safety very seriously," Djezvedjian said.
