Default Re: Block spiders from PART of a page?

Here is the page in question: Creative Loafing Tampa | Food & Drink | Features | It took a Village

Here is the problem.
I want the search engines to focus on indexing the contents of: the main article and the 3 blocks on the right-hand side as these are all about the restaurant being reviewed and other food and drink.
But, right now, the spiders also see all pull-down lists in the box at the top. These items are detracting from the FOCUS of the article.

In other words, I want the spider to visit and leave with thoughts of "wine and homogenous American fine dining" in its head and not with "Ethiopian, Filipino, Fondue, French" and all the other lists contained in the Ajax construction.
