Dip

There's a trendy air to this Murray Hill lounge's main level, jammed with high tables, a small curved bar and stylish young professionals. Head upstairs for a swankier, more laid-back vibe, with comfy burgundy leather couches, mirrors, quirky paintings and candles set into wall alcoves. Even the frat-boy touch of a pay-to-play pool table blends in nicely, though the giant wall TV over the entrance mars the mood. Vegetarians will find plenty of options, such as the hearty wheat-tortilla quesadillas and soy sauce-sweet veggie skewers. The requisite spinach-artichoke and hummus dips are tasty and ample, but the pastas are rather generic. As for the fondue, the gruyere has a sharp but smooth taste, although the uncut cauliflower and broccoli florets fall easily into the bubbly mix. Chocolate fondue comes with your choice of free toppings, including raspberry sauce and marshmallow fluff. For a somewhat lighter finish, opt for the Chocolate Mint Ice Cream cocktail, a blend of milk, creme de menthe, and creme de cacao. (Source: Citysearch.com)
