Inspiration and Information for your Tabletop

Perhaps it's the type of people who travel and stay in hotels, maybe it's the overall nature of the industry, or it could be a simple shift in demographic preference.

Pretend you're in a new city on a Sunday morning. You're looking for a great place to grab some breakfast downtown, so you have a few options.
