The membership-only Dorsia – named for the fictional restaurant in “American Psycho” that Patrick Bateman and his Wall Street bros salivate over –at exclusive Big Apple eateries like Carbone, Bad Roman and Via Carota as long the diners agree to shell out as much as $500 per person.

The membership-only Dorsia secures hard-to-get-reservations at exclusive NYC eateries like Carbone, Bad Roman and Via Carota.Wall Street interns have flooded social media to boast about getting into hotspots like 4 Charles and Torrisi. “There’s an early window in a restaurant’s life cycle when celebrities and VIPs flock there,” one restaurateur told On The Money. “If anyone can pay a certain amount to get in, it could mean the celebrities stop going and find a new spot.” and its minimum spend is insurance that diners will look the part and spend accordingly. “I spend more than the minimum on a bottle of wine wherever I go,” one 30-something New Yorker said of his reason for using the app.
