1. Los Angeles’ Bored & Hungry eatery serves its final NFT-inspired burger
After two years of operation, a Los Angeles burger restaurant known for its unique branding featuring the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible token (NFT) is bidding farewell as it serves its final patties and fries. The establishment is now undergoing a transition, as it has been acquired by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
In an April 8 post on X, co-founder Andy Nguyen announced the closure of the original Bored & Hungry location in Long Beach, CA. Nguyen further disclosed that the branding and franchising company, Hungry DAO, has acquired the Bored & Hungry brand. This brand, which gained recognition for its fusion of culinary delights with NFT-inspired aesthetics, currently operates three locations in the Philippines, one in Seoul, South Korea, and has plans for pop-up events in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai later in the year.
Bored & Hungry made its debut in April 2022, joining the ranks of other entrepreneurial ventures launched by Bored Ape NFT holders. Among these ventures is a Cuban restaurant located in Miami, which similarly leverages the rights associated with their NFT ownership to establish and operate their business.

While resembling the iconic Game Boy, the BitBoy One is not to be confused with the crypto influencer of the same name. Ordz Games anticipates that the console will be available for pre-order by mid-April, with the exact price still pending confirmation.
