" It appears that gratuitous use of bouncers is not just a West Coast thing anymore. Last month, we discovered that San Francisco&amp;#039;s yuppie/locavore Bi-Rite Market had hired a bouncer. Now, a new IHOP opening in Manhattan&amp;#039;s East Village \u2014 yes, those initials still stand for International House of Pancakes \u2014 is posting an off-duty cop as sentry during the graveyard shift in anticipation of the massive, rowdy crowds of youths that will inevitably turn IHOP into an after-hours &amp;quot;hot spot.&amp;quot; We are actually not in disagreement with IHOP&amp;#039;s logic regarding the well-documented penchant for ironic eating and drinking venues among certain late-night New York revelers. If you build it, they will come. It&amp;#039;s just that a bouncer seems a bit ... excessive. When was the last time you saw something serious break out in an IHOP? And what, exactly, does it take to be denied entry into one? I guess we&amp;#039;re about to find out. [New York Post] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
