Once upon a time, in the realm of Greek mythology, there lived a lovely nymph named Mintha. Firm in form with a sweet disposition and exciting spirited charm, Mintha captured the heart of Hades, god of the underworld. Before long Persephone, Hades wife, learned of the affair.

Seasonal Restaurant & Weinbar in Midtown Manhattan manages to give its Austrian/German cuisine a contemporary lightness that feels…well…positively sleek and healthy.
So guess what J. Walter Thompson’s marketing agency thinks is up and coming for 2010? Their official trend-spotting list of 100 Things to Watch in 2010 places “Bacon Everywhere” at number 7. Bacon popular?
