The man was out in full effect on Yongkang Lu yesterday, going door to door with binders full of documents and talking to worried-looking shop owners. An insider tells us that "places without a license will be closed very soon." Who's gonna be the first to croak? Is Laowai Jie the new Tongren Lu? What's going on at the Da Tong Mall tonight?
One place that's for sure closing is cocktail bar / harvester of starfish baijiu, Magpie. That's a shame. For Sunday's closing party from 4pm-10pm, they're doing 100rmb open bar on Magpie Mules. Take a shot of the starfish juice with boss Jackie -- it's good for health. Luckily, Magpie 2 on Wanping Lu is still open. Great place.
