...meals at Super Suppers, Dream Dinners and Let's Eat!, the latter a well-reviewed East Coast chain that uses fresh herbs and serves complimentary mimosas. And I was surprised that while these meals tasted nothing like anything I'd ever make or order at a restaurant, they were mostly pretty good.

If the New York experience is any indication, the smoking ban will hurt most in the first year, but new customers will emerge to take advantage of the benefits of a smoke-free environment. And while many pubs are closing, there are also new ones opening. The new tenants of the Greene King are bullish: "We wouldn't enter...
