"duvet" news and stories

Eating breakfast in bed isn't a piece of cake. Unless you are lucky enough to have someone to bring it to you, you have to get up and prepare the meal before snuggling back under the covers - and getting back into bed isn't even the biggest problem. The real obstacle is that crumbs get under the covers and make the bed scratchy (not to mention the possibility of attracting bugs) the next time you climb in. This Buon Appetito bedding is part napkin, part duvet, with a built-in tie that neatly prevents crumbs from falling anywhere they shouldn't. The bedding is from a couple of German designers and doesn't appear to be available retail yet, but if you're crafty, this shouldn't be a difficult modification to make to a standard bedspread.

Of course, you could also avoid the whole issue of crumbs in the blankets by having eggs instead of toast in bed - but what would be the fun in that?

Dom Perignon is so nineties. In 2005, the thing to do is spend hundreds - or even a cool grand - on a single cocktail. We've covered the $950 'Ruby Red' martini, and the New York Times has a feature on the various and sundry expensive potables. There's the World Martini at the World Bar in Manhattan, which supposedly started it all, made with Remy XO, Veuve Clicquot Champagne, Pineau des Charentes, white grape juice, lemon juice, bitters and 23-carat edible liquid gold: $50. Or the Champs-Élysées cocktail at Le Passage in Chicago, Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac, Grand Marnier, orange juice and sour mix: $135. Or the Beluga caviar martini at Seablue in Las Vegas: $350. Or the Duvet Passion at Duvet in Chelsea, which includes aged cognacs, vintage Champagnes and a vanilla orchid petal: $1,500.

Taking the proverbial cake is the High Limit Kir Royale, at Teatro Euro Bar in Las Vegas. It's Cristal, 140-year-old cognac, and premium liquors: $2,200.
