  1. This is Kyusuk. Um..actually, I don't like to talk during eating out. When I go to restaurants in big city, so many people are talking each other around the tables that make me so confused. Sometimes, I like noisy places such as big restaurant with music cafe or club, but there might be some people who want to eat out without speaking as I want. Because they can feel the taste easier and feel the restaurant's atmosphere, too. So, I like this kind of new system of restaurant in NYC. Also, I can understand about Naumen's utterance.

  2. I think I would appreciate it as a single experience. But I a definitely a talkative person, and I love to enjoy meal with family and friends and talk all the time. Besides my personality, I am sure that it comes from my culture. I have observed some Asian friends, and they are just different in this point. It is interesting how eating and talking differ from place to place. And in America, not only North, but also South, we are just so noisy while eating, each meal is like a party! hahaha

  3. The article is about a unique restaurant opened recently in NYC. The uniqueness of the restaurant is silence, even in the kitchen. The owner of the restaurant derived the notion from his Buddhist monastery experience.

  4. I think that talking and food goes together. Eating food with others is a great way to enjoy life, to strengthen family relationships and friendships. I would not be able to go an a restaurant and keep silence the whole time. I prefer to eat and talk about my life, and I think that by doing so, we can have a more enjoyable meal.

  5. As a person, for me, it depends on the situation and my mood. I become a talkative person with my friends or family, but I am very silent if it is a serious dinner with older people than me. I think it can be a little weird if the restaurant I visit is too silent. When people go outside to have a dinner at a decent restaurant, they want to release their stress and have a fun while they eat and speak with each other. Therefore, for me, too silent restaurant such as those in NY, is unfamiliar. However, I don't want to be disturbed by too talkative people while I eat, so the restaurants can make sense.

  6. This is Pedro. In a restaurant or in a public place is almost impossible to have a meal without talking to someone else. But maybe at home I would be able to go through a entire meal without saying any word, even though it would still be really hard to do so.

  7. This article tells us about new restaurant in NY where people are not allowed to talk. To be honest, I do not like the restaurant where you cannot speak with other people. I prefer to talk wile I am eating my meal in the restaurant. If I am testing something new in the restaurant I want to talk about many things in my life and I want to express my opinion about this food. Sometimes many people are too talkative that they do not even pay attention what kinds of food they eat. However, it does not apply to me. I like to taste new types of food and I prefer to express my feelings about this food. Therefore, restaurants where you cannot talk are not for me.

  8. I think that I would be able to go an entire without talking. I would rather to listen during meal than speak.Oftentimes people show respect to others without talk diring meal. For example, when youth show respect to older people during meal. Sometimes A quit meal can create a peaceful and relax environment. I don´t think that I would pay $40 for meal, however I consider that it would be interesting.

  9. I would like to try this restaurant and the experience of not talking during the dinner. I agree with a lot of my classmates that eating and talking with friends and family is a good mix. However, I think that there are other ways to communicate without sound and words. Hence I would like this experience with my family and friends, and also I would like to to it alone as a good way to think and relax.

  10. I am sure that eating along with talking is a new life style in the 21st century. I enjoy eating and talking, I haven;t try other way just yet. :) However, I love to experience new things, I love learn new things, I love to try out something what I haven't done before in my life. And that's why I would love to try this new restaurant. Maybe it could help me to discover something new, something what I was not aware of. So, how can I say if I like it or not if I haven't even try it yet!? I am so open to new things in my life, and eating in a silence room with other people has its own magic as well. I definitely want to try. I am sure I can handle not to speak while eating! :))))
    Food is not always for socializing, sometimes it is a good chance time to spend with yourself thinking while eating.

  11. Yes I think so, and I think it would be interesting. Peopel go there along has nobody to speak; people with close friends don't need to speak; and people who don't know what to speak won't feel embarrassed.

  12. Nooooooo. I wouldn't be able to do it because I Think that if you go out to eat with somebody you should talk about many different things. Maybe not while eating but after finishing you can do that.

When I want to go to a restaurant I prefer to eat in a place where there are not too much people, noise, loud music. Off course I like to talk with someone while I eat, but i dont like to make too much noise talking. I would like to eat in this restaurant.
