For a hotel named after legendary spy "Wild Bill" Donovan, you'd think discretion would reign at the Donovan House. Unless bottomless sake is involved. The hotel's Zentan restaurant is offering UrbanDaddy readers unlimited pours of the adult beverage with any sushi, sashimi or hot appetizer platter. Just mention "Agent Bill" to get the hookup…

Expect cocktails from legendary barman Dale DeGroff, early jazz and the occasional flapper dress. Okay, more than occasional—they'll be everywhere.
If the Tour de France took place at Oxford, this is what it might look like: a group of would-be dukes and earls donning wool vests, riding caps and plus fours for a bike ride to the pub. The postgame happens at Marvin, with gin drinks and enough Britpop to soothe Noel Gallagher's tortured ego.
