^ regarding the Virgin food, i was at the boston WC in June and there was a very n ice spread of food, including marinated cold pork tenderloin, grilled vegatables, gourmet cheeses, fresh fruits, smoked salmon, and other good apps. don't remember the champagne but then i do'nt like the stuff...

the food was located on the far wall beyond the bar with no one watching. the desk agents can't even see the table.
