Azura, the brand-new pan-Asian place that’s replaced the awful Tofoo, kitty-corner from Bauhaus on Pine, is really good. Last night I had superlative lemon shrimp: The veggies (sugar-snap peas, bell peppers, etc.) were crisp and plentiful, the shrimp tender and plump, and my entree came with the option of brown rice.

The dining room is lotus-flower pretty and bordered by a sexy blue translucent bar (thus far no hard licks available, but I bet that license is on its way). Something tells me this cuisine is too healthy to pique the interest of either Ms. Dickerman or Ms. Clement, hence my foray into their territory.

Stranger crew: It’s a bit of a walk for a dark day like today, but Azura has a handsome lunch menu (including dim sum).
