In preferred arrangements, the lazy susan includes spaces in which to receive menu and/or advertising media inserts. In one arrangement, the lazy susan includes one or more spaces configured to receive easily changeable menu inserts and includes one or more additional spaces configured to receive permanent, or at least less-easily removable, advertising inserts.
