Champagne, friends, and an enticing atmosphere. What could be better? Yea, we can't think of anything either, so collect four to six friends and head to Babalu in Wallingford, where $30 not only gets you and your friends in the door, but also gives you a bottle of champagne to pop (a $75 value). Between sipping bubbly and getting down on the dance floor, we bet you'll have your hands full one way or the other. More of a people-watcher? Plop down on the plush wrap-around sofas under chandeliers and admire the scenery. Groove to live bossa nova, mambo, and jazz-fusion music and then pop open another bottle, rehash the week's feats, and toast to a night well spent.
