The Loring Pasta Bar—owned, operated, and decorated by entrepreneurial theater impresario Jason McLean—is both a great place to eat and, as the evening unwinds,  an even better place to drink fine wine, listen to music, and dance until you’re feet are numb.  Sunday nights are devoted to tango, either with a live band or DJ, and Wed. through Sat. there’s jazz through the dinner hours from 6 p.m to 9 p.m., and on Fri. and Sat. nights dancers steam it up for Hot Salsa parties. The Loring feels like an extremely cool French bistro run by an eccentric genius, and the food is as creative as the décor. It has the most interesting bathrooms in town as well, so be sure to excuse yourself at least once and have a look at what a little imagination and taste can do.
