Around the bend of the roller coaster, a booth peddled oysters, glasses of chilled Muscadet and posters decrying Brittany's disastrous oil spill of last spring. With a fine Gallic disdain for international worker solidarity, another food kiosk sold sangria and the message: SPAIN IN THE COMMON MARKET. A BAD BLOW FOR FRANCE.

Auburn St.) and The Idler (right underneath it) are for intimates or loners who like to do their boozing in quiet. Their sangria goes down as smoothly as lemonade and mellows your insides with a particularly warm high. Cronin's (114 Mt.
