Grant Achatz's Alinea restaurant has been grabbing international headlines for several years now. Perhaps that's why he can have such a discreet entrance marked only by what appear to be two pots of truncated white birches.

The subtle entrance may sit well with patrons and critics, but the valet guys bring out a little sign that says "Alinea" every night just so everyone can be certain.
