Guide to Shanghai (上海)
[top]Food
* 小杨生煎(陕西北路店), 静安区陕西北路678号(武定路口) (great for 生煎包
- grilled pork buns, which are little buns, grilled like potstickers)
* 绿波廊(豫园路店), inside 豫园, near the lilypad lake, a great place to enjoy some
Shanghainese dimsum (one of the few good restaurants in 豫园).
* 杨家厨房, 衡山路9弄3号近乌鲁木齐路, 地铁1号线衡山路站 (good
Shanghainese food inside a two-story French concession-era house)
* 老正兴菜馆(福州路店), 黄浦区福州路556号(近浙江中路), (great reputation
for Shanghainese food)
* 上海老饭店, 黄浦区福佑路242号豫园(近旧校场路) (old-time Shanghai restaurant)
* Whisk Cafe, 淮海中路1250号 (近常熟路地铁站) (great pasta and hot chocolate)
* La Gondola, 河南中路16号近延安路, 地铁2号线南京东路站 (great pasta and
desert)
* Baan Thai, 复兴中路1479号近淮海路 (good Thai food inside a lovely garden)
* Thai House, 武定路657弄12号205室近西康路 (simple decor, good food)
[top]Night Spots
* Club JZ, 复兴西路46号近永福路，地铁1号线，常熟路站 (great jazz shows,
starts at 9:30-10, get a pint of Carlsburg and order 拌馄饨 (spicy wonton without soup); JZ
All-Star Big Band every Saturday is a must see; need to arrive early as it gets very crowded
* House of Blues and Jazz, 茂名南路158号近复兴中路, 地铁1号线黄陂南路站
(another great spot to enjoy some bluesy jazz)
* Face bar, 瑞金二路118号 inside Ruijin Hotel complex, 4号楼近永嘉路,
地铁1号线陕西南路站 (lots of outdoor seating inside a beautiful garden)
[top]Bookstores
* Dragon Books (龙强书店), inside 龙之梦购物中心, 8th and 9th floor
(长宁区长宁路, near 凯旋路) (very big selection of general Chinese books, similar to
上海书城 on Fuzhou Road, but Dragon Books is much less crowded).
* 上海书城(长宁店), on 长宁路 across the street from 龙之梦 shopping center;
combined with Dragon Books inside 龙之梦, this area is an even better place to shop for
Chinese books than Fuzhou Road near People's Square, as it's less crowded (very few tourists).
* 季风书园(陕西店), inside the Shaanxi Road subway station (great selection of more
academic and literary books)
* Penguin Books (企鹅书店), 徐汇区天钥桥路869号上海体育场旁 (great reputation
among Shanghai's literati)
