French restaurant in NYC accepts bitcoin

At first glance, La Sirène looks like any other cozy French restaurant, complete with escargot. But this new Upper West Side eatery accepts cash, check, American Express, and a powerful yet controversial form of currency known as bitcoin. The owner Didier Pawlicki is the consummate host as well as a savvy entrepreneur. He also owns a restaurant by the same name downtown where he has accepted bitcoin for about four years now.
