Title: Using BTC in NYC Post by: LoweryCBS on December 29, 2012, 02:27:10 PM Ok, so we're having dinner last night with a couple that we're headed on vacation to New York City with, and as usually happens after a couple of pitchers of Margaritas, I find a way to inject bitcoin into the conversation (sometimes I bring up game theory, but that's after scotch, not tequila)
Long story short, I've been challenged to find some place to eat or have coffee in NYC that accepts BTC. Ideally, I just whip out my android, scan the QR code, send the coin, shrug and act like it's no big deal, happens every day, no fuss. Any place like that? Maybe even a newspaper or hotdog stand? (the funny thing is, I bet in a few years, I'll look back at this post and chuckle, because now (the future) everybody takes BTC) Title: Re: Using BTC in NYC Post by: BitPay Business Solutions on December 29, 2012, 02:31:21 PM Call these guys for a town car or limo ride, they take bitcoin! http://www.howtoacceptbitcoin.com/2012/10/low-risk-international-payments-for.html (http://www.howtoacceptbitcoin.com/2012/10/low-risk-international-payments-for.html) (888) 435-5020 Aaron or John Title: Re: Using BTC in NYC Post by: Raoul Duke on December 29, 2012, 02:32:05 PM http://bitcoinnavigator.com/2011/08/just-sweet/

I can so relate to this. My wife to me in the car while driving to meet a couple for dinner whom we hadn't known long: "you're not going to start talking about Bitcoin, are you?" Me: "hey, if it comes up, it comes up." Suffice it to say, it came up.Title: Re: Using BTC in NYC Post by: btcinstant on December 29, 2012, 05:36:48 PM I've had more debates about Bitcoin then anything I've ever had in my life. :o
