BAR ERA – is indescribable. We can only list some of its features: a pool table; Ethiopian food; craft beer; VG soundtrack from the juke; charming staff. We snap open a Samsonite “Slim-Line” briefcase and add a tiny bit more to that mix, every Tuesday in August. Come early and take advantage of Happy Hour. FREE, of course, thanks to @trophybikes , an independent shop that is guided by its customers, the weather, and the ingenuity of its brands (among other things).     N.B. As always, if you forgot your pen, you can borrow one of ours at Publetters.   • • Starts August 6; scratch out some “Wish we were there…” letters and cards over a nice cold beer.
