Is it okay to bring a camera into a restaurant where there is a lot of crazy c**p on the walls...?

Question

so I can relive those images of canoes on the wall, baby carridges, one way signs, & old fashoned crates?

Answer 1

no... you can ask a waiter or something, but for the most part it is considered rude.

Answer 2

It's probably not a problem, just ask the waitress or waiter first.

Answer 3

Most likely OK, but ask the owner before taking pictures and take care your not flashing light into others eyes when you take your photo's.

Answer 4

Camera phones.  They are discreet!  Get a shot at that stoplight!  That's cooky!

Answer 5

It depends on the significant historical value of the restuarant.

If you're talking about a dive like Friday's then go right ahead. All their shops are the same in every city.

As far as non-corporate places, ask a manager for permission. Most will say yes, but some just want to be careful of how the image will be portrayed.
