I really love wine and cocktails but I'm such a lightweight that each one has to be taken with food and metabolism-boosting spurts of activity (not, like, jumping jacks at the bar, though). Can anybody help me design such an evening? With maybe 3 or 4 places? Thank you so much!

You could keep on walking to Piattini then Petit Robert Bistro and Eastern Standard in Kenmore Sq. And that's not even including a loop into the south end. Or starting at the bar at Meritage or one of the others in the Boston Harbor Hotel then over to Sel de la Terre.

Start at Masa for tequila and tapas (or 28 degrees) > the Butcher Shop for wine and cheese > Franklin for cocktails. Option 2. Start at Toro for drinks and apps > then either: 2.a. head to Tremont 647/Sister Sorel for a quick drink (mainly to break up the walk to Petite Robert for wine and mussels or 2.b. head down Washingto to Stella (4 blocks) and then 3 more to Pho Republique for tuna spring rolls or even further down to Red Fez for meze style (maybe Rocca?) I like Joanie's suggestions as well.

It's a tough space to stand around tho as there is no bar (just a 5 foot counter top with 4 stools), I wonder if the outdoor seating will help. Fri Apr 27 10:44:38 -0700 2007 2520554 14195 icculus 1 2520552 Good lists. If you wanted to cross the river: Blue Room, Anise (though the departure of the bar manager may affect things), Oleana, and then maybe B-Side. Or Central Kitchen, Green St., and maybe Rendezvous, Miracle, or River Gods.
