Las Vegas Munchbar Debuts in Bellevue; A New York Pizza Place Closes in Maple Leaf

Las Vegas-based restaurant Munchbar debuts its Bellevue Square location on Friday, January 28. The original lounge inside Caesar's Palace features calorie-laden, gussied-up comfort food, like buckets of hand-cut fries (see right), grilled-cheese dipping sticks, Philly cheesesteak sliders, and Nutella cake.

In other news, Maple Leaf Life reports that A New York Pizza Place at 8310 Fifth Ave. N.E. is closed. The space and its restaurant equipment is currently for sale.
