Travel Tip #11: Order Chocolate Cake From Room Service

Normally I avoid hotels. I tend to rent apartments, crash with friends or even grab a room at a hostel. And I would advise you to do the same. But if you do find yourself in a hotel, take advantage of it. Room service may be expensive, but it’s food…delivered to your room…on a cart with wheels. One minute you’re in your room with no chocolate cake. The next…there’s chocolate cake!

It’s a scientific fact that chocolate cake simply tastes better when eaten in a hotel room. Preferably while in bed. Get crumbs everywhere. Wipe your mouth on the sheets. Savor every bite while watching a horrendous movie that you can’t identify because hotel televisions don’t display program titles. You’d never sit around watching that Ben Affleck abortion at home. Then again, you probably wouldn’t eat a $12 piece of chocolate cake at home either. But you’re in a hotel. And there’s room service. And I’ll be damned if that isn’t some good chocolate cake.

If you know what the hell movie you’re watching, please do let me know.
