Essential Essence of India

I wanted to go to Essence of India in trendy Lincoln Square for ages. So, finally, last Saturday night, I went. The dining room was completely full and I briefly thought of going someplace else. It was nearly eight thirty but the host told me that a table for two would be a wait of ten minutes. Not bad for a Saturday night without reservations.

Get Wined Up!

Whether it’s the end of a long workday, a first date or a much-needed cure for a Sunday morning hangover Wined Up and Punch are the answers to your food and drink prayers!

On the first floor is the newly renovated restaurant and bar Punch. You can come for lunch, dinner or just a cocktail at the bar, but they serve brunch the best. With their Punch Brunch Prix Fix ($14.95) you’ll enjoy either a Bloody Mary, Mimosa and coffee or tea, freshly baked muffins with homemade seasonal preserves and one of Chef Matthew Corbett’s delicious entrees. The menu offers a mouth-watering selection of revived favorites like the Salmon Eggs Benedict, Open Faced Grilled Lamb Pita and Brioche French Toast with mixed berries.

The owners of Punch wanted to provide New Yorkers with a new wining and dining experience for the , so architect Jay Valgora designed the beautiful second floor wine bar Wined Up. For the wine novice, don’t be afraid of the 100-foot wall of wine and ten-page wine list (by the glass or by the bottle)–be excited! The staff at Wined Up will guide you through your first or your fiftieth visit with detailed tastings.

Along with your bottle (or two,) let your taste buds take a trip through Wined Up’s menu. Wine wouldn’t be wine without a selection of fresh cheeses to accompany. There are small plates like the roasted pumpkin hush puppies, and larger portions to share like the Mediterranean plate or the Yellowfin tuna sashimi. For the ultimate treat, indulge in fondue – sweet or savory!

If you thought wine bars were stuffy and boring, then you need to get Wined Up.

The Pink Door

As a well-kept, Seattle secret since 1981, the Pink Door delights lunch and dinner goers with a variety of atmospheres and tastes. One can either experience a light lunch outside on the patio overlooking Elliott Bay and the Pike Place Market, or come back later in the evening for a rich, warm, and sometimes raunchy, and certainly sumptuous dinner. The Pink Door offers a variety of Italian-American influenced dishes that satisfy almost any palette, whether tame or considerably continental. Try the roasted garlic, served with ricotta-gorgonzola cheese and rustic bread, and the linguine with fresh baby clams. Their fresh seafood and ravishing desserts are also not to be missed. The full menu, with prices ranging from affordable to moderately expensive, can be found on their website, be sure to check it out.
