Nathan Austin, known as ND, is an alternative experience bar master. He has opened about 20 so-called "Speakeasies" in Brazil and in places like Iceland, Italy and the United Kingdom, all in secret, or hidden bars, all of which are illegal.

Austin and Ida basically can not find a way out before being investigated.
All of Austin's adventures are for this bistro and, surprisingly, it's his first legal bar. Nevertheless, he was full of brains as he walked through the narrow storage room in an abandoned restaurant, the place he had been dreaming of for years: a bistro with only two guests, the size of a phone booth or Small house like "toll booth".

Everything is just for fun
For an hour I was with this man from Alaska and his name had nothing to do with Austin, the metropolitan Texas, "jungle, wilderness, grow up in an island lodge."

Austin called himself an "adventure designer," who understood his own special experience as a creative work. He learned from it and grew up to come up with this "toll booth" bar. At the end of the interview, he walked out to the outside through the closet and closed one of New York's most charming bars, leaving only one sentence behind: "Everything is for fun."
