Le Vin, that tiny wine bar on Jinxian Lu has just opened a sister Italian restaurant on Wulumuqi among the fruit stands and crab shops called La Vite. A sign that said "Free Prosecco" lured me in the other night. And maybe this is the booze talking, but La Vite left quite a good first impression.

Like its predecessor, La Vite is small and cozy. The decor is quaint with quirky touches like light fixtures made from wine bottles and colorful plates and bowls. A closer look reveals that it's all slightly slapdash, but the place has some charm to it. Running the place is a guy named Franco. ... Read on

And what's a rebujito, you ask? It's a Spanish cocktail that mixes Manzanilla or Fino sherry with lemonade, soda water or some fruit juice. It's kind of like a sherry spritzer and it's traditionally drunk during the Andalusian Feria del Cabalo, the festival of horses, when people buy and sell nags and drink sherry to toast the deals.

Pata Negra are doing a Thursday night deal from now until ... Read on

You know that snazzy group of octogenarian jazz musicians that plays at the Fairmont Peace Hotel every night? The ones who are all legit senior citizens, ranging from 75 to 88 years old, still killing it on the drums and sax? Yeah, some German dudes made an awesome Shanghai-centric documentary about them, which just premiered at SIFF.

Our colleagues over at CreativeHunt chatted up the director and producer of the film, As Time Goes By in Shanghai, which (fun fact) also got a bit of a financial boost through a successful Kickstarter campaign. Shameless... Read on

The Omnivore Food Fest kicks off tomorrow night (Thursday, June 20) with a pop-up restaurant in Unico. The tapas bar and lounge is hosting Korean American chef / restaurateur Danny Bowien.

Of all the chefs visiting for Omnivore this year I am the most excited about Bowien. He is a rising star in the American culinary scene. He made a name for himself by doing a pop-up in a sleepy Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. ... Read on

Hamacide — DJ and producer, and one half of local vortex of darkness S L V — is leaving town after a multi-year stretch in Shanghai. This Friday, there's a farewell party at The Shelter with R3, Cha Cha, Drunk Monk, DJ Sig and a rare Shanghai show from DJ Desert Fuck Eagle. But look at this flier that they've done for it.

It was drawn by DJ Drunk Monk, whose recent work shows the notable influence of the "Heatwolves school" ... Read on

Freaky shit at Dada tonight as SubCinema screen the 1968 oddball exploitation flick, Spider Baby. Subtitled "The Maddest Story Ever Told" when it was released, it was directed by Jack Hill, who went on to write and direct Foxy Brown, Coffy and the similarly demented and uncomfortably sexy Pam Grier prison-break film, The Big Bird Cage.

But Spider Baby... It's about a trio of inbred ... Read on

The film looks at key bands like Kraftwerk, Neu!, Faust and Can, and how their tinkering with psychedelia, synths, jazz, ... Read on

The drunken Borg colony that is Yongkang Lu continues to assimilate ever more store fronts. Lets start at the quiet end of the street — west of Xiangyang Lu — with Pastis. This is a microscopic French bistro. The place has a seating capacity of, at the most, 10, and even that's a generous estimate. A couple of two-tops on the sidewalk bump that number to around 14 or 15.

True to bistro form, the menu is scrawled on a blackboard and presumably changes regularly. Most of it appears to be ... Read on

Few people are organizing a little party out in the burbs this weekend. It's in a large private garden in the middle of nowhere in Qingpu. The owner has a bar there and an art gallery and because the space is private there should be no hassle from the man.

The line-up seems pretty free-form. DJ Doggy, Chaze and DJ B.O, plus VJ Mark Stoned. There's also talk of a "Japanese jambo drumming crew". What on earth is jambo? Wikipedia says, "A celebrated gorilla who ... Read on

First visit last friday night. And won't be my last. Decor is zen-ish unkitschy mediterranean. Waitstaff was fast, friendly and efficient. Menu is not large but sufficient. Don't expect any of those "anadolu" mish-mash-dishes. Instead..refined and traditional turkish fare. You get started with complimentary bread and 4 dips/oils. I decided to go full lamb and started with cold lamb liver and potatoes as starter. Melt in your mouth, not gam-y and simply well executed. (58RMB) A glass of turkish house red went well with it (55RMB). Ch [..read on]
