Yes! I ate there.

They are the ONLY Somali restaurant in NYC 😉

If anyone wants to help the owner (and nostr:npub1r73gmgu7rjstdwuskshn9ztj9rrdrprl5y435yrmtc9qtq4ausfqr0v7zy cofounder) Shakib and Safari Restaurant by funding an inbound channel, let me know and we can set that up.

Next time my mate is in NY, I will get him to drop off some goodies from my New Zealand shop, to share the love.🧡

Anytime!

Safari is at 55 Saint Nicholas Ave, NYC.

We host our meetups there on a semi-monthly basis.

Please change it to “Bitcoin preferred” sticker

Isn’t lightning outlawed in that whole state? Is this an ungovernable restaurant? 🙌

No, most custodians don’t operate here because of the restrictions, but anyone can use a self-custodial Lightning node. It’s always been legal to accept bitcoin for products and services.

Hell yeah. Keep it up my friend ✊

So Zeus for the point of sale and Alby for receiving capacity?

Yes, and Zeus is only needed as a backup since there’s an Alby Lightning address.

Where can we get the stickers?

Go to the right meetups!

How does this system work? I know people who also want to accept Bitcoin in-store and via webshop. Is this easier than other methods?

This was done using Alby Hub on a cloud hosted node (built with LDK) with a getalby.com Lightning address and Zeus wallet as a backup.

This seems to be the first merchant using Alby Hub for payments!
