HAPPY HOUR
Don't fill up on that Orange Julius while running errands at MOA. Instead, sidle up to Tucci Benucch's bar (or mid-mall patio) between 2 and 6:30 p.m. daily for $4 tap beer and punch, and $4-$6 select wine and appetizers. Those Apple store "geniuses" won't seem as smug after a wine buzz.
114 W. Market, Mall of America, Bloomington, 952-853-0200, www.tucci-benucch.com
