...Thursdays are Yappy Hour (find a dog lover and you've found a pun lover). "Dogs need parties as much as we do," says Linda Monterrey, who attends with Gidget, a scrappy, petite Chihuahua mix. At Manhattan's Doggie-Do salon (seriously, they love puns), owners can hold dog birthday parties and bark mitzvahs (you believe me now?) with printed invitations, gift registries and a game called ice hockey, in which dogs chase a slippery liver snack frozen in a block of ice across the floor.

Flavored rums rose from 18% of total rum sales in 1998 to 39% last year. Flavored vodkas are similarly flush. Even Martin Friedland of Jenkintown, Pa., an importer of fine spirits for more than 50 years, won't call flavored liquors a fad; the worst he'll call them...
This year, much of the music world is joining to celebrate Rorem’s 80th birthday, Somerville says. Just a week after their Arts First performance, the group will record a compact disk of Rorem’s choral works...
