You forgot to mention in your best Bar section, The Rendezvous in Cambridge. Also who makes the best Basil Gimlet. So far I vote the Casablanca and Le Bouchee.

I thought I was the only one who ran into a bartender who thought Negroni was an Italian beer. The funny thing is that it happened at the same bar where an hour earlier, a different bartender made me a great one (Intermission Tavern). Man!

My favorite dumb response to an order of a Negroni is, "We don't have that", like they think it's a brand of beer or something. I get a lot of blank looks in Boston bars when I mention Punt e Mes.
