Tonight, we're going off the rails! In this episode, I'm helping you snooze by slowly and softly reading menus from Amtrak's onboard dining service. We're getting cozy in first class from Chicago to San Francisco on the iconic California Zephyr—and tucking in to their traditional dining menu, complete with a 3-course dinner. Menu #2 is served onboard the Texas Eagle, a 1,300-mile trip from Chicago to San Antonio.

Tonight, we're taking a moment to appreciate one of life's most underrated pleasures: dining alone. This small—sometimes daunting—act of independence and self-care can be deeply fulfilling and a reminder that sometimes, the best company is your own. And while you can eat alone pretty much anywhere, the NYC restaurants whose menus I'll be reading in this episode—Minetta Tavern, Ha's Snack Bar, and Gramercy Tavern—make a singular seat feel extra special.

Tonight, we're visiting three Washington, D.C. museums—and their restaurants! In this episode, I'm helping you fall asleep by slowly and softly reading menus from: Immigrant Food at Planet Word, Bread Furst Café at The Phillips Collection, and Mitsitam Cafe at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
