Nordstrom shoppers can booze while browsing

SEATTLE -- Shoppers at Nordstrom in Bellevue Square can now booze while browsing.

The upscale retailer opened a lounge called Habitant, a 36-seat cocktail bar, near the women's apparel section on the second floor.

Its menu features small plates along with wine, beer and cocktails.

Conveniently located near the women's apparel department, we're thinking the lounge will be an ideal spot for weary husbands and boyfriends to kick back while their significant others try on clothes.

We don't know if women will be able to parade their outfits out of the dressing room over to the bar, which may also alleviate men from sitting near the dressing room and repeatedly telling their partners, "No, that doesn't make you look fat."
