Elysium takes up the top two floors, 59th and 60th, of The Franklin Building. It has become The Spot for heroes and those that want to be seen with heroes to eat. The owners have has hired the best in security, both mundane and super powered. The restaurant can be accessed from either the garage entrance or the ground entrance leading to an express elevator. Or from above for those heroes inclined to that mode of travel. The paparazzi constantly swarm the entrances and monitor air traffic for any gossip they might glean from who comes and goes and with whom they do so. Unauthorized drones that get to close to the sky doors are shot down and confiscated. Press that get to eager are detained by security until their credentials are verified. The restaurant has been open for a few years now so everyone has learned to follow the rules. There hasn't been a villain attack since the fourth month of operation. There are rumors however that a super-powered individual with mind-control abilities is on the premises and is the reason no one gets out of hand anymore, but the owners have never confirmed that and the city authorities don't seem interested in telling either.
Inside the restaurant is a classic fine dining establishment. Plush carpets, crisp white linens, a full bar and dessert cart. The food itself is not actually prepared in house. The owner employs 8 of the finest chefs from around the world and each of them prepares their own meals in their professional kitchen. Three world class teleporters wait in the back room for a signal when the orders are ready and retrieve it, then passing it to the wait staff. Of course all the kitchens are monitored for proper decorum at all times.
Patrons wishing to dine must choose either the more public 59th floor, into which the press can see and potentially ask questions of heroes, or the 60th floor which is closed off and far more intimate. The menus are the same, but the prices are different for each floor. The owner takes kickbacks from allowing press onto the 59th floor, so the prices there are lower, downright affordable even on a lower tier hero's budget. The price of admission is allowing the press to have at you if they want. On the 60th floor, the prices are a bit higher, to pay for the modicum of privacy.

OOC:
If you wish to dine on the 60th floor an have privacy, someone needs to make a Resources check, target is 3+. If you fail, dinner happens on the 59th where you need a Resources 1+ success to not be a broke deadbeat. Increase the difficulty by 1 if one person wants to cover the whole meal themselves (El Toro?).
