Forget the Chablis, the spritzers, the Perrier with lime. In many chic U.S. watering holes, the era of the grape and designer water seems to have gone out with the bull market. Instead, aging baby boomers are rediscovering the sharp, cold sting of an icy, dry martini. "A whole generation has become bored reciting 'I'll have a glass of white wine,' and then having something set in front of them that tastes foul and has no kick," explains Ed Moose, proprietor of the Washington Square Bar & Grill in San Francisco.

...unique feeling of being an illegal insider trader. Or almost. The guests were transported by boat to Alcatraz, the inactive island penitentiary in San Francisco Bay. There, while 25 actors dressed as convicts and jail guards capered around them, the temporary inmates supped on roast quail with lime sauce and admired the concrete and steel-bar decor. Estimated cost of the bash: about $100,000. To many, that seemed like something of a crime itself...
