What: Spice Rush, next to Asiatic Department Store, opposite Churchgate Station, Veer Nariman Road.

Why: Because the multi-coloured walls and happy chairs at this new eatery will cheer you up even before you sample the food. And if the breakfast and sandwich menu is anything like the Indian buffet we sampled at a soft opening this week, Spice Rush is sure to become a favorite hangout for the work and college set.

When: You want a nook on the bright side. Opening next week!
