So I'm out with my Dad tonight at dinner at a nice restaurant in Washington D.C. I order a side of truffle mac and cheese that's pretty big and when he mentions we won't finish, I say I'll take it home. He says "that's if they let you". So I mentioned of course they would and he says "hundreds of restaurants in New York" won't because they think it's "lower class". Now, my Dad is a great guy and all, but he does have some weird half baked theories about things. Long story short, they offered to box up the side for me and I have it. But, is this something that I should either be careful about doing at nice places or should expect to not be allowed to do? I guess I figured that if I paid for it, I could do with it what I wish and eat it where I want but hey, I'm a poor student so what do I know, hence why I'm coming to the real experts.
