Yes, you can have all three--at the very same time--by indulging in this latest trend in NYC restaurants, which gives a whole new meaning to "bed and breakfast."

That is, these new restaurants specialize in dinners that are served in bed. Not your bed--theirs. They offer gourmet menus, and of course, a fresh change of sheets for each party. The restaurants consider this tradition to date back to Greek and Roman times, when well-off citizens gathered to eat, drink wine, and converse while lying reclined on couches. These couches were not beds, though; they were not for sleeping on, unless perhaps a diner was overcome by the rich food and wine. For that reason, I'd consider this new dining trend to be truly original, if perhaps not exactly great for the digestion.

Read the article for more details about the menus offered, info for the five--FIVE!--eat-in-bed restaurants in Manhattan, and tips for proper etiquette at these types of establishments.
