...trumpet and two drums, this silent band. At a yellowed keyboard markered with “Katrina Band of New Orleans,” a gorilla plays forever, an empty bottle of Bacardi in his lap. Next to the pianist, a monster hunches over a guitar, ignoring the empty wine bottle nearby.The lead singer, a mannequin with a gray wig, sings at a rusty microphone. David L. Fountain, 54, calls this wooden statue his wife. Without her, Fountain would have been a bachelor all his life, he says.“She’s a bad woman...
...practically hear the editors chuckling "Ha! Here's a vice that's good for you!" No doubt part of their interest stems from the fact that some writers and editors are known to enjoy a drink or two. For the record, I often have a glass of red wine with dinner. But the truth of the matter is that the research on the health benefits of alcohol generally gets a heck of a lot more play than it deserves...

Then go for dinner at Il Bacaro in Via degli Spagnoli?it's intimate and they serve a tasting portion of your dinner partner's pasta. Also, they have a great wine list. If it were a Saturday I'd go to the minimalist nightspot ReD, part of architect Renzo Piano's music venue Auditorium. It's full of fun people but never overcrowded, with either a DJ or live music...
