a view to a bill

The always diverting Strange Maps triggered my Ooh Ooh I've Been There alarm this morning with this post featuring a napkin from The View revolving restaurant at the New York Marriott Marquis on Broadway. I would have dabbed red wine and bits of chocolate cake from my slavering chops (and there was a certain amount of slavering going on towards the end after all the drink we'd put away) with an almost identical napkin during our visit there. Here's a menu in case you fancy popping in for a quick snack. And in case you can't be arsed to click on the link here's the map featured on the napkin:


The only thing I will say about the revolving restaurant thing, great gimmick though it is, is that since the "core" around which the restaurant revolves obviously stays still, getting up to blearily weave your way to the toilet becomes even more disorienting than it would otherwise be. You should resist the temptation to just give up and go in a plant pot or someone's salad, though. Standards.
