Even if we weren't in a recession, we'd still be watching our wallets: Now that it's post-holiday season, the credit card bills have started to bring us back to fiscal reality. But there is a wonderful way to indulge and pamper ourselves without spending any more than we would during a regular ol' dinner out: Mike's on the Beach (1 S. Ocean Blvd., Boca Raton, 561-362-9911) is offering free limousine service (provided by Condo Limousine Company). Call to make a reservation and a stretch limo appears at your door for no extra charge. Finish your meal and the car's ready to take you home. In other words, there's absolutely no reason not to finish that magnum -- OK, regular bottle -- of champagne. Now, that's what I call free delivery -- and just in time for Valentine's Day too.
