Offbeat eateries -- The Bed Restaurant

Tired of the same old Applebee's and Cracker Barrel fare? Well, fortunately, you're living in the 21st century, where choice reigns. We've pulled together some suggestions for places that offer novel dining experiences.

If you like breakfast in bed, you'll love the B.E.D. restaurant in Miami Beach. B.E.D. (beverage, entertainment, dining) serves the very best cuisine to diners reclined on large, you guessed it, beds. Your chance to play Hugh Hefner comes complete with silky sheets and enough pillows for a soft-porn pillow fight.

The restaurant/club caters to the highly fashionable and paparazzi-worthy by offering more than a superb supine dining experience. Surrounding the dining area is a dance club with a blowout sound system, often hosting special events such as fashion shows and celebrity soirées.

The owners obviously were not able to overcome the temptation to play upon their theme in designing the menu, as shown by dessert selections including Roll in the Sack and Menage a Trois. I wonder if the latter is served with three spoons?

If you go, please remember that, despite the theme, pajamas are not considered proper dining attire.
