POPSBar review: Americano, San Francisco More: The vibe: Stylishly comfy, Americano has a distinctly upscale vibe. The crowd: The happy hour scene is packed with co-workers hooting, hollering and some even staggering - all in the name of quitting time. A few hotel guests wander around, looking for a quiet spot to sit, as they observe the alcohol-fueled rituals of San Francisco office workers. Best seat: The lounge, which juts off the dining room, has couches and club chairs perfectly arranged for an after-work gossip session. Killer app: The all-day menu offers plenty of antipasti ($3 each during happy hour; otherwise $7 each or three for $18) that are perfect bar snacks, such as herb-roasted almonds, pork meatballs al forno and artichoke and Brussels sprouts fritti. Three thin-crust pizzas also pair well with the cocktails, especially the pizza Toscana ($14) with salami, mozzarella and crushed tomatoes. I admit\, I can't imagine paying $32 for a glass of wine...

POPSCongress's Travel Tab Swells 
Spending on Taxpayer-Funded Trips Rises Tenfold; From Italy to the Galápagos Lawmakers frequently bring along spouses on congressional trips. If they take commercial flights, they have to buy tickets for spouses. If they fly on government planes -- as they usually do -- their spouses can fly free. Paris Air Show In mid-June, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D., Hawaii) led a group of a half-dozen senators and their spouses on a four-day trip to France for the biennial Paris Air Show. An itinerary for the event shows that lawmakers flew on the Air Force's version of the Boeing 737, which costs $5,700 an hour to operate. They stayed at the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand Hotel, which advertises rooms from $460 a night. The lawmakers were invited to a dinner party at the U.S. Embassy and had cocktails at a private party at the Eiffel Tower. Mr. Inouye attended a dinner sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association, a U.S. trade group. Another senator on the trip, Alabama Republican Sen. Ri

POPSA cocktail bar with no drink menu: Drink (Boston, MA) More: As the cocktail authority Dale DeGroff has noted, the cocktail is “as American as jazz, apple pie, and baseball.” Classic cocktail bars are to the toper what the new crop of “classic” baseball stadiums are to the sports fan—places where we can cheer a return to our roots.… I admire what Drink is doing in eliminating the cocktail menu: asking you to put yourself in the hands of a knowledgeable guide who can edge you beyond your comfort zone into a new experience. Still, I hope it eventually prints one up. Sometimes the bartender will be too harried to take a full patient history, and perusing a list of drinks and their ingredients is a great education. I also hope Drink might embrace another new trend, that of listing obscure classic cocktails interpreted by and credited to talented bartenders working today in other cities. Such a list is like a blog with links to other worthwhile blogs, except that the links are potable.
