Les Zygomates, a wine bar and bistro, claims its name roughly translates to "the muscles in the face that make you smile." Our French is rusty, but our Boston media/film guests definitely gave their zygomates a workout during mb's recent trip north. We met up with friends from The Boston Globe, WHDH-TV, The Atlantic Monthly, and Boston's Weekly Dig, among many others.
