Shanghai has a lot to do. More than you could ever possibly do in one week, one month, and given how fast the city is changing.. even one year. Normally a night out encompasses drinks, dinner and perhaps some dancing or other entertainment. Depending on your budget, you have some tough decisions to make. There are several neighborhood spots that you could explore and find just about everything you want within walking distance. You might seek an upscale evening of fine dining and dancing with lots of choices for dinner and entertainment. Visit the East end of Huaihai Rd around the Huangpi Rd metro station. Within walking distance, you could have a good dinner every night for a month and not try the same place twice. Xintiandi is two blocks from here, Hong Kong Plaza is across the street, and a whole strip of neon-lit store fronts, restaurants, and upscale shopping await you.

Brothers Eduardo and Marco Vargas hosted their first "Gentleman's Club Night and Burlesque Show" at Vargas Grill on December 15. Three dancers put on lively Vegas-style dance shows in between a sumptuous dinner that included hearty barbecue ribs, grilled tenderloin steak and side orders of mushroom soup, crispy calamari and quiche (348 RMB, including wine). During the dinner, some of the gentlemen (and their ladies) sang "Happy Birthday" to several attendees and chomped on fat cigars. Shapely Vargas girls watched the night unfold from on the wall. The gentleman's club theme nights are expected to take place about once a month at the grill-heavy restaurant, 3rd Floor, 18 Dongping Lu.
