After dinner, head a few doors down to the Piccino Coffee Bar, which serves organic Blue Bottle java.

Everyone is beautiful at Piccino. Those two women whose straight brown hair falls to the table as they bow their heads over glasses of white wine? Beautiful. That man in the shirt with the crisp white collar and 14-carat watch? The slim, black-shi... More »
