The Only Man in the Restaurant

Are you one of those guys who, after a weekend of failure, blames the venue? Or, perhaps fault lies with the famed “guy girl ratio” — let me guess, not in your favor?
If you’ve ever uttered those excuses, or called some place a “sausage party”, have I got a place for you. It’s called Cube 63, it’s in the Lower East Side, and it’s chick heaven.
For those of you who have not been there, it’s a small, one-room restaurant in the Lower East Side that probably seats about 30 people, if that. Food is inventive sushi rolls (actually quite good) and I recently found myself there on a weekend night with a lady companion.
Excluding the two male sushi chefs, I was literally the only man in the restaurant. Later on another guy-girl couple came in, upping the total man count to 4, but for the time that I was the only piece of man flesh there, it was an awesome,ego-lifting experience — one every guy should have.
You see, I’m not the type of guy who necessarily gets checked out all the time. Sure, I’ll get my share of sidelong glances, but it doesn’t happen everyday. But at Cube 63, it was all eyes on me. Upon entry: girls checking me out. During dinner: girls checking me out (and giving my companion bitchy looks). Girls waiting in line for the bathroom: checking me out. On the way out: girls still checking me out.
Now you might say that this was just a fluke. But over the din of shrieking females, I confirmed with said sushi chefs that the place is like that all of the time. And not just your standard shrieking females, but groups of girls-night-out! shrieking females. So, I’m happy to share this information, but please, use it wisely.

Yeah, we’re totally getting kickbacks from them. Every guy who goes there and mentions “BankersBall” means one free Spider Roll for us.

Well, because of you guys mentioning it here, the current ratio situation might change soon…

Yeah… you can totally forget about that ratio, I can predict it will turn out complete opposite within days….

its called efficient market hypothesis. anything thats too good to be true or offers room for arbitrage (in this case, leveraging the low sausage ratio) will ultimately come to equilibrium.
any smart guy would have kept this secret to himself

Thanks BankersBall. I’ll probably hit it up at the same time this week with a coworker here in M&A. Keep it up!

It’s funny that you all think this site has that much pull. As for the EFM, it’s not like it’s static. The second there are a bunch of guys @ Cube, there could be a bunch of girls who then go there b/c the place develops a rep as a hangout for eligible dudes.
P.S. I walked by there today and it was pretty empty and largely all girls. OK, ok so one was fat.
