OVERSTUFFED
Town & Country's Facelift
This institution of a bar just got new wood floors, a communal table and black leather chairs. What you get
(besides a new place to sit) is $5 happy hour appetizers like grilled filet mignon bites, grilled flatbreads
and french fries with black truffles and parmesan. Better yet, they do it again a little later in the
evening, when those oversized chairs start to look just about perfect.

ON POINT
Rare Wine Dinner at EVO Bistro

the time. Here's something: a half-dozen enviable vintages of Sauternes, Opus One and Barolo, each rated at
95 points or higher. Oh, and there will also be food—six courses worth, but you'll be focused on the
glass.
