...Sipping our martinis and trying to appear effortlessly graceful, we couldn’t help but notice the envious glances that our tea was eliciting from our well-heeled fellow patrons. With the wait staff bustling around our table, positioning the impressive display just so, and setting our places with beautiful Asian-inspired dishes, we attracted quite a bit of attention. The flamboyance of the tea, however, only served to heighten our sense of conscious decadence as we devoured the sinfully rich treats.

Magadanskaya, the vodka served by Stalin to Truman and Churchill at Potsdam, is smooth and bracing. A sip makes Robert Plotkin of BarMedia, a well-known consultant, say, "Oh, my goodness." But it tastes like ... vodka. Its importer, Sylvia Scherer, of West Import & Export in Kenai, Alaska, is marooned near the back of the hall, far from big corporate booths pushing Stoli Cranberi vodka and Tarantula Azul tequila.

The women, clad in T shirts and jogging pants, munch on fish and chips and sip beer. Hipster jeans? Think hip replacement. It's less Sex and the City, more The Golden Girls. But there have been successful efforts to modernize. Industry officials say they spend tens of millions making bingo halls more youth-friendly and installing state-of-the-art equipment. The Ping-Pong balls...
...this Chicago night, four suburban mothers sip white wine and Diet Coke while dissecting Michael Chabon's latest best seller. This could be any women's book group, save for the four boys, ages 11 to 14, who keep scarfing popcorn, cracking jokes and voicing their comments about Summerland, Chabon's highly touted children's novel. When the moms admit some confusion over Chabon's mystical baseball epic, Mason Marshall, 14, comes to their rescue. "A lot of it was mythology, Norse mythology and Indian mythology," he explains through a mouthful of popcorn...
