The List

Food/Drink: Bar Veloce

17 Cleveland Pl, between Kenmare and Spring 212.966.7334

Returning to its original location after a two-year hiatus, this low-lit sleeve of an Italian wine bar's pouring 60 bottles (30 by the glass) while plating up bruschette, panini, and dolci, e.g., strawberries veloce -- or "fast strawberries", the angry berry-picker's projectile of choice.

Service: Super Bowl Bars and Specials

This GMap's color-coded icons indicate each bar's patronage come game day: blue for Giants fans, red for Pats devotees, and green for unaffiliated drunks. Pop-ups give each joint's contact info, cover/reservations policies, and specials, like $2 Buds, or a free Zima every time you shush the crowd so you can hear the commercials.

Culture: Requiem for Alien vs. Predator

You didn't go see Alien vs. Predator: Requiem because you thought it'd suck. Coward, redeem thyself: these dueling rock vocalists each scream the case for which space adversary is beastlier. Not to spoil the ending, but, "Alien's unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality!"
