Taking a look at the arts calendar, two exhibitions are closing -- slot these in to you weekend if you don't want to miss out.

Over at Leo Xu Projects is Cui Jie, Li Shurui, Zhang Jungang & Li Ji -- rop-art and more from Beijing and Harbin-based artists. "Photographic essays and stories that celebrate youth and love." Closes February 5.

Meanwhile, at MOCA is MAN: Chen Man Visual Arts Exhibition -- Chen Man's mixture of mainstream ideas and idiosyncratic aesthetic impulse to "sometimes surreal and highly engaging contemporary fashion photography". Closes on February 7

Have at it, culcha vulchas.

End of an era, people. Tonight is the final dinner that el Willy will be serving at 20 Donghu Lu. If you've got any nostalgic attachments to the place, best book your table there now. Service will resume in around two weeks at the new Bund 22 location. 20 Donghu will remain shuttered until the fall, when Elefante opens.

But as one door closes, another door opens. After several weeks of remodeling. Glamour Bar unveils its new face to Shanghai tomorrow night.

If you were walking around out there with a hole in your heart about the same size and shape Jing'an bar / restaurant The Spot, good news for you: they're back open tonight.

After shutting down for several weeks for extensive renovations, they're back open -- new look, new direction, new drinks menu, new food menu. Manager, Paolo says it's a bit "trendier" in design, and they're now hosting a three-piece house band playing from Wednesday to Saturday every week (rock and more). Compeletly new cocktail menu, as well, and new Italian additions to their menu, reflecting the nationality of their new Italian chef.

There you go. The Spot back open for business tonight, and then look towards February 17, which is their grand re-opening party.

Get ready. Monday is game day. At 7.30am the New England Patriots and the New York Giants go head to head on the grid-iron. There are loads of options around town to watch the game. Here's a rundown...

If you have nowhere be after the game and you don't mind a little trek out to Gubei, Wings is your best bet. Chef Eric "Big E" Brown is grilling up sliders, breakfast tacos, steamed clams and more. 200rmb gets you all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink on select beers and booze. Get there early for a seat near the big screen. The deal lasts until 30 minutes after the game. After that, you can go start a drunken riot through the streets like a Raiders fan. Details here.

The usual suspects, of course, are hosting the game too. Read on

wedouglas on Cali Burger on Jan 30th
When I see independent burger joints pop-up, I usually assume that they offer something unique or a quality of food a cut above the typical fast food joint. With Caliburger, it's not the case. The menu is scarce, the food average, and the price too high. The only real difference I could see was that the prices were higher. The burger, while not bad, was no better than any other fast food place [..read on]
