The Modern at the MoMA requires jacket and tie. Still, that's a really poor showing for NYC.

When I had lunch in the upscale Dining Room there 2 years ago, there were men without ties. Open Table only says that jackets are required.

I also noticed at least one baseball cap in the downscale Bar Room there.

To answer my own prior question, Le Grenouille only requires jackets, too.

I dare anyone to find me a place in NY (excluding private clubs), other than the 21 Club, that requires ties.

I think the only one left in NY is the 21 Club and only at dinner. I am not sure about Le Grenouille, but at Daniel, Le Bernardin, and Jean-George only coats are required.
Does anyone know of any others?

Last time I ate at those place, I wore a suit and tie. But I don't know if it's their policy.

Waffle House serves the absolute worst fast food/diner food on the planet.

I disagree with you and I also think that diner and fast food is not the same thing. I don't know many other restaurants such as Waffle House where you can actually see your food being prepared fresh right in front of you.

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

I've never eaten a worse meal than the one I had at Waffle House. Ingredients seemed bottom-of-the-barrel -- as though they buy what decent places reject. Everything's brand X. I remember being stunned at the poor quality and telling my GF that there's no worse cooking than what poor folks in the South have to eat.

Who cares if you can watch the cooks at work? It's not that unusual, you know.

I am really surprised that you would say that. When I am staying in a town that has a Waffle House I usually eat there at least 3 times a week.

Shari's is the worst food money can buy.

I'm not sure of any restaurants with jacket requirements in Seattle..

There must be at least one somewhere in Tokyo, but I have yet to find it.

My grandfather once read the riot act to the manager of a restaurant that required a jacket and tie but made him keep his fork for dessert.

The Lark. I went there one year for my birthday a few years ago when I lived in Michigan. They don't require a jacket or tie. The food was good, but I didn't think it really justified their prices. The owner/wine steward guy was a complete douchebag though.

If you're looking for something really nice in Detroit, try Opus One.

Stockholm/Sweden... Almost certain that they aren't any that do. I've been to quite a few restaurants, raging from cheap to expensive ones represented in guide Michelin.

I am quite sure there are none in Long Beach, where I live. I think the Sky Room, the best restaurant in town, may require a jacket, but I doubt it. On the occasions I have dined there, I saw many men remove their jackets upon sitting down to eat, which seemed pretty tacky. I don't know about the Greater LA-OC area as a whole. I hope there are some!

is it not more pleasant to dress up in a situation where it is not required?

Prime Rib in DC.
1789 requires only a jacket, I believe.
