Say you’re in Manhattan and you have $800 burning a hole in your pocket, what would you do with it? Splurge on theatre tickets for you and 9 friends? Maybe see if someone canceled at Per Se and grab the nine-course chef’s tasting menu for four and throw in a few bottles of great wine to round the bill off?

Pshaw! If you really, really, really want to do something egregiously elite, get a haircut.

Yes, where else but New York could you walk into a salon and hand over the equivalent of a brand new PC with a flat screen monitor and walk out with what most other people would pay $25-$45? But Orlando Pita says, hey, if others are already charging $500 or $600, what’s another couple hundred for what I suppose has to be a haircut that will make men cream their jeans and women, well, cream their jeans, too? $800? $800?!?! Please.
