I essentially have to take people's word on this one. It's TVs in men's rooms. On several review meals in recent months, my male dining companions have enthused about the presence of television sets in the loo. Grille One Sixteen in Tampa has one, City Fish in Oldsmar has three. Mostly, I think, with an ESPN theme going on. They're definitely not tuned to the Lifetime channel.

By most people's reckoning, women spend a lot more time in restaurant lavatories, but men the get tube? What gives? Since when did nose-powdering make us ineligible for a little entertainment?
