Minibar’s Cracked Egg

Paying the bill can be a relieving time because you can get on with the rest of your day/night or it can be an instant stress factor when you see the zeros you drank in bottles of wine. The District has become a hub for experimentation in the food scene. Today, I share with you restaurants who do a savvy job of experimenting on how they present the bill to you. A brief distraction never hurt anyone or their pockets for that matter.

Minibar : The infamous egg crack. Yup, they come to your table with a whole egg shell and smash it in front of you. What you will find in the egg is not gold, but your bill.
Mari Vanna : The change purse. Decorated in flower vines in an array of colors, I could not resist asking them if I could keep mine for my collection of wallets, purses and bags.
Cuba Libre : Cigar boxes. Such a great reminder of what the cigar is to Cuba.
