KIRKLAND—We're told that there are a few spots available for Allium owner-chef Lisa Nakamura's pop-up dinner. This is your chance to sample her cooking, if you don't want to fly/ferry to Orcas. Per the commenter below, dinner will be at Starry Nights Catering & Events. Call (360)376-4904 for reservations. [EaterWire]

BELLTOWN—A tipster tells us that that the lounge that used to be called Blush at 1st and Denny is now just 101, a diner-like joint. Our tipster says same owners, different format. If you know differently, you know what to do. [EaterWire]

DOWNTOWN—Beginning February 1, ART at the Four Seasons will expand its More Cheese Please and Antipasto Counter to 9pm to 11pm. At half the price ($7), the late-night happy hour of all-you-can-eat cheese and antipasto dishes pair well with discounted draft wines from Piccola Cellars ($6 and $8). [EaterWire]
