Back in January, we told you how much we loved the food at Southern Barbarian, the great Yunnan restaurant that some people complained was too far away because it was north of Beijing Lu. Well, we are happy to report Southern Barbarian has moved farther south, and now resides amongst a cluster of art galleries and shops near the intersection of Maoming Lu and Jinxian Lu (just one subway stop from Shanghaiist headquarters). The......

Shanghaiist is getting in the holiday mood--it's December, it's cold, and Christmas gifts are beginning to be bought! (Though not by us. We've thought about it--does that count?) We can't write long, as we're about to head out to a fun, festive holiday dinner at -- Dongbeiren? Well, we are Shanghaiists after all.

Where to take a visitor from overseas if you'd like to show him a progressive Shanghai bar that usually has some decent live music? We were dealt this apparently daunting task this weekend. Dinner ended too late for us to make the trek out to Yuyintang for this show, so we headed to Tang Hui. What a colossal mistake.

It's a great cause, and a great lineup of bands. Mint and Ferris Wheel played at the last Shanghaiist Happy Hour (video clips), The Living Thin were......

We like the City Diner. A lot. We won't lie. It's right down the street from our apartment and we might already be considered regulars even though the place hasn't officially opened yet (the Diner is still enjoying it's "soft opening," a phrase that, we admit, makes us giggle and, curiously, think of Sheena Easton's song "Sugar Walls" ... you can watch the video for that song here). We already have our booth and, much......
