Symbio Manyways
Restaurant at the Beginning of the Universe
Symbio Manyways is a direct competitor to Milliways - Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Where as Milliways is extremely difficult to reach (travelling requires Infinite Improbability Drive, Bistromathics, or Hyperspace), Manyways can be conveniently reached just by walking or otherwise travelling in vertical orientation inside in Kaapelitehdas.
There is no valet service as cost of real estate in the "early days" is extremely expensive. Beforehand table reservations are possible, but getting call through between Big Bang and the opening can be challenging.
Manyways is known to be best paying employer in the known universe - as shift for bar staff starts at 10-36 seconds after the Big Bang to sometime between 10-33 and 10-32 seconds, the hourly rate ends up being quite significant.
Food and drink
You won't be walking around hungry at Alternative Party! Food is available 24h a day.
