No Hot Soup Please

To hold a private private in a swank New York restaurant one group specifically requested no hot soup on the menu because they saw it as a hazard. Was someone allergic to chicken soup? No, it was the monthly Clothing Optional Night.

"It's exciting to be in a restaurant nude," said George Keyes, 65, a retired junior high school English teacher. Nude yes, but not unadorned. Keyes, a lifelong nudist, wore a necklace, earrings and a black leather "genital bracelet" [Ed. Do I really want to know?] with red studs. And white sneakers.

The group was bored with the typical beach goings and wilderness retreats and decided to try something different.

Health regulations mean staff must remain clothed even if they wanted to join in. And diners must bring something to sit on -- a towel or, for discerning women, an elegant silk scarf.
The restaurant's manager covered the windows to maintain privacy at the strictly private party. Extra heaters kept the temperature at a comfortable level for nudity. Yes, we don't want cold nudists.

Health regs require the staff to remain clothed, while diners must bring something to sit on -- a towel or, for discerning women, an elegant silk scarf. If I'm naked I certainly want to be comfy.
