Tortilla warmers in Boston?
Anyone know where I might find a tortilla warmer in Boston/Cambridge/somerville? I'm having a dinner party this weekend that it would be useful for. One catch, though --- i'd prefer on of those insulated cloth bag type ones, since I don't have a microwave. Any ideas?

Pimm's in Manhattan?
The spring is finally here....I've been craving a Pimm's. Anybody know a bar with a nice garden or back yard where I could soak up the sun and get my refreshingly Anglophile drink on?
Thanks for the help....
30th Anniversary, Cambridge --- Recommends?
Hello,
My siblings and I are taking our parents out for dinner to celebrate their 30th anniversary next month --- I've been poking around on the board, but in all the special occasion spots I've seen mentioned I'm not sure I've seen one that quite fits the bill, so I thought perhaps I'd ask directly.
We will be a party of six
Price: I'm looking to spend around $25-$30 per entre, so not the absolute high end, but nice.
Style: Mildly adventurous, I'd say. My folk's comfort zone is Mediterranean, classic French or American style. Definitely not, say, Asian cuisine.
Place: I'd like to be in Cambridge, if at all possible. It's where they met and lived for a number of years, and so it would have nostalgic value. But Boston would also work, and if there's someplace a bit outside of town that otherwise fits the bill, please recommend.
Atmosphere: Not too loud but not too quiet? That's a bit vague of me --- We don't need a romantic hush but would like to be able to talk without shouting during the meal.
Thoughts? I really appreciate being able to draw on so much expertise. Thanks for helping make this a special night!

I tried the good-o --- more snap than ginger ale, but lacking the full bite and flavor of the goya. thanks for the tip!

Ginger Beer in Jackson Heights
Does anybody know of a market or deli or bodega that has ginger beer in Jackson Heights? I've checked several grocery stores and many delis, but no soap. I quite like the Goya ginger beer --- it has a nice bite --- and I've seen most other Goya sodas, plus other Mexican and South American brands. But no ginger beer. I'm drowning in a sea of Malta over here. I'd be willing to go out of my way for it, but in particular if there's a store someplace on Roosevelt or 37th or Great Northern in the 70s and 80s that has it, I'd swoon. I'm mournfully bright and becalmed.
