Bored & Hungry, located in California, is the world’s first restaurant to accept ApeCoin (APE).
Recently, the world’s first Bored Ape themed restaurant, Bored & Hungry, opened in Long Beach, California. Prior to its launch, the unique concept announced via Twitter that it would accept not only ETH (Ethereum) but also APE (ApeCoin) as a payment method.
The 1700-square-foot restaurant was designed by Orange County-based food entrepreneur Andy Nguyen. Known for creating exciting food concepts, Nguyen is also the co-founder of Afters Ice Cream, Matte Black Coffee, Pig Pen Delicacy, Portside Fish Co., Dough & Arrow, Banh Xeo Boys and more. In March, Nguyen spent $267,000 to purchase the Bored Ape #6184 and two more Mutant Apes.
Armed with the Bored Ape Yacht Club intellectual property, Andy Nguyen transformed the field to show how the marketing potential of BAYCs and NFTs could be translated into the real world with his initiative.
Nguyen said:
“The goal is the growing Web Opening the doors to those who want to go back to the 3.0 community and learn more about this new world of Web 3/NFT. Our job is to educate the public about this new future world. And to show people that you can create a brand/business out of that IP. Thus eliminating the ‘this is just a jpeg’ stamp.”
