Except in the music of Fountains of Wayne, the New Jersey power-pop band, who are to accountants what Bruce Springsteen is to refinery workers. Their songs probe the hearts of a paper pusher stuck in traffic, a heartbreaker who works at Liberty Travel and a hungover salesman cramming for a presentation.

But now, something resembling an entertainment zone has emerged, concentrating shopping, dining and drinking choices within walking distance and giving travelers the no-tears nightlife they've been missing. It began with the 2005 opening of the Arcadia bar-and-restaurant complex behind the Plaza Senayan mall. Then, last September, another retail center, Senayan City, opened across the road from the mall. Factor in nearby...
