Many groups play for prizes rather than cash, but a few have begun sharing the booty further afield. When Mary Green of Clarendon Hills, Ill., was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999, her bunco mates decided to raise money for breast-cancer research. They started off by donating one month's cash pot to research, then passed the idea on to other bunco groups.

Veda takes Indian dishes in a never-before-seen direction, namely single-serving portions. Instead of sharing, you get your own roast breast of duck crusted with curry leaf, peppercorn and coconut, an ultra-fashionable Indian option ideal for business dinners. Just make sure it's a client worth impressing?a meal for two with wine costs close to $200. For reservations, call...
