No worries if you’re a few snacks short of a picnic when it’s time to head to the Whitaker Music Festival tonight — you can still make a night of it. Just down the street from the Missouri Botanical Garden, at 5257 Shaw Ave., Spanish eatery Modesto assembles to-go boxes with charcuterie, cheese, grapes, walnuts, tapenade and a tortilla Española (pictured). Picnics cost $14.95 per person and can be augmented by a bottle of water or — didn’t we say you could make a night of it? — wine. Call ahead: 314.772.8272.
