B.E.D. New York

My dear friend Joy is in town this weekend from Phoenix and always gets together an interesting mix of people. This Sunday for a late brunch was no exception. We all met up at B.E.D. New York at 530 West 27th (212)-594-4109. The young lady working the door was extremely pleasant and friendly followed by the personable young man working the elevator up to its 6th floor location. Actually all of the staff were terrific which can not be said of many NY restaurants. Shoes removed and 7 of us ensconced on our temperpedic mattress (I have one at home and it’s truly the most comfortable bed ever!) most of us ended up following the elevator operators suggestion and getting the Bloody Mary with “meat” as he described it. Turned out what he meant was beef broth with a splash of OJ in a classic Bloody Mary. It sounds horrible but was really delicious. I ended up getting the lox/caviar/eggs which were perfection. Joy and I shared our entrees and she’d ordered the French toast which was as well was unbelievable. I wasn’t really hip about going to the place as it seemed entirely too gimmicky to me but that’s actually the point. It’s all tongue in cheek fun. And we of course asked out waiter (really cute and equally sweet) if people were ever caught…..you know…….and just the other night they let one couple go at it a little longer than they ordinarily would as they were in senior citizens and the staff thought it was ‘cute’. Yuck. I could only hope it hadn’t happened in the same bed where I had until that story been very comfortable.
Fun place, terrific staff, so take a big group of friends bed!
