    • New F&B Complex Shan Kang Courtyard is Slowly Opening for Business

      Exciting news for people looking for something fresh in Jing'an: Riink, Alimentari Grill, and Homeslice are all up and running at the Shan Kang Courtyard development. Riink’s already back to hosting roller disco parties, like this upcoming 90s night. Meanwhile, the Alimentari people have added a charcoal grill and vermouth bar to their Italian kitchen/ grocer concept, to distinguish it from the other one barely a ten minute bike ride away. Homeslice continues to do what it does best. The renovated construction materials market, which we've written about before, is the latest big development to hit the scene. Tenants are tried and true food and beverage brands, local Western fare favorites. Expect more openings in the near future from Tap House, Pudao, Azul, Madeleine, and Bubba’s Food Co.

    • Lyceum Theater on Maoming Shuts, As Does Everything In It

      This one passed us by until we rode past the other day: it appears Lyceum Theater on the corner of Maoming Lu and Changle Lu, has closed its doors and plastered a big metal sheet across the main entrance. According to a guy in a hardhat and visibility vest outside (and this Kankan News report), the 90 year old building closed for renovations in early August. We managed to stick our head in through an unlocked side door and saw plenty of exposed brick, harsh white lighting and construction site paraphernalia, so that checks out. The goal is apparently to bring back the historic look of the building, replacing the marble floor, fixing the staircases, replacing the exterior brick wall, adding some more bathrooms, expanding the AC units and adding more seats. Along with the actual theater, the upstairs mini-cabaret Candor closed, as has that restaurant on Changle Lu going back to the gas station. Mr. Hardhat hemmed and hawed when asked how long it'd stay shut, but the Kankan report says it'll be for about a year.

      Since the first monthly feature of adoptable foster animals at Second Chance Animal Aid in April, ten of the SCAA cats and dogs we have featured on SmartShanghai have been adopted. The animals met great matches in quiet homes or active families, and many are enjoying animal companionship. Well done, Shanghai! Read on

    • Ladies Who Tech Is This Saturday, Go Learn From Women Who Are Making It In STEM

      Get educated! Saturday, August 29, is the 2020 edition of Ladies Who Tech Convention. It's put together by an organization started in 2017 to inspire more women and girls to get involved STEM (science, tech, engineering and maths), fields that have been associated with men in the past — not to be construed as men being the only active members in those fields. There have been hundreds of women (NASA scientist Katherine Johnson, internet pioneer Radia Perlman, Ginni Rometty at IBM, to name just three) whose contributions to the field have gone unnoticed in the public imagination because we're fixated on dudes in lab coats. In the past, Ladies Who Tech has organized events such as "In Action" and "D&I Leadership Power Breakfast," bringing companies and communities together to engage in fruitful dialogue. This year's theme is "Tech Has No Gender," and it's a full schedule of panels, workshops and keynotes. Details on the event after the jump! Read on

    • A Little Booze Never Hurt: Two Places for Alcoholic Ice Cream

    • Back From The Quasi-Dead: Bund Lounge CE LA VI To Reopen in September

      Flickers of unlife above the Bund. Seems like CE LA VI, from hyper luxury brand LVMH, might be coming back this September, according to their official account. The multi-hyphenate club-lounge-restaurant-bar concept opened in November last year, then let all its staff go and closed in February with a promise to announce its future in due course, and has been teasing its return since at least July. And now it's happening! In September.

    • Charlie's Just Launched a Beyond Burger. It's Kind of Expensive.

      Charlie's has just launched a Beyond Meat burger, becoming the first (the first? I think so) dedicated burger place to put the American meat analog on its menu. Prices are — well, they aren't cheap. A single burger, which is actually two thin patties, is 74rmb on Ele.me, and a double, which is four patties, is 119rmb. That's... more expensive than most places selling beef. But hey, all tech is expensive when it first comes out, I suppose, and as far as food tech goes, making meat out of plants is probably the most advanced. Also, the wholesale cost of Beyond Meat is three times the price of beef. I ordered the double for lunch yesterday, delivery, of course. How was it? Not bad! Expensive! Pretty ok! I'd still rather have a beef burger but I don't have diet restrictions. If you're a vegetarian or vegan or just don't eat beef for whatever reason, this is def a bold new world for you. Available at all Charlie's locations and for delivery.

    • Save Mauritius, Save Lebanon, Save Shanghai: Charity Events In August

      Calamities beset us but we persevere. Here are a couple of worthy events to donate your time, attention — and money — to. On Saturday, August 22, OKRA is hosting Save Mauritius' Reef to raise awareness and raise money for the ecological catastrophe that has struck that gorgeous island; on Thursday, August 27, Tacolicious is hosting a Lebanon Relief event to help the country get back on its feet following the explosion in Beirut. Lower profile in the international news, but no less pressing, The Rooster is hosting another clothing drive. Details after the jump. Read on

    • Tree Bark, Fermented Shrimp Paste, Frozen Foie Gras: Oha’s New Menu is Wild and Wacky

      Oha is a little counter restaurant with 20-something seats on Anfu Lu. When it opened in December 2017, it made some waves for its Guizhou-influenced western bites. And then chef Blake Thornley went on to other projects: Blackbird 2.0 in Columbia Circle (closed), Pass Residence (rammed) and more. Now he’s back at Oha for a few months, revamping the entire menu, and, man, it is wacky and daring and kinda punk rock. Read on

    • These Are All The Outdoor Pools That Are Open Right Now

      With the heat pushing 40 degrees celsius and the soles of your sneakers slowly melting to the pavement, maybe it's time to find some relief. A small, chlorinated pool of relief. A pool. Since writing our early summer roundup in June, six more places have opened (though no Mandarin City). We've put them all together in one place so you can see exactly where you should be headed this weekend. Read on

    • New Terrace: Portman Ritz-Carlton Opens Up Its Green, Green Rooftop

      A new place to get pickled and sunburned at the same time, like a boozy sunflower. Terrace 8, located on the eighth floor of The Portman Ritz-Carlton, has been one of Shanghai's best kept rooftops, with an actual, thick, immaculately well-kept grass lawn on the top of the foremost building of the Shanghai Center. It's usually reserved for ritzy private events and weddings, but with things being the way they are, the Ritz-Carlton has decided to open it to the public. That means we — the sullied plebs scuttling about their pillared halls — deserve to drink champagne and wriggle our toes in the grass with an an unobstructed view of the Shanghai Exhibition Centre in the evening summer breeze. Splendid. They've got deals on Spanish and Asian tapas, wine, cocktails, and champagnes — like free-flow Mo?t & Chandon for 668rmb per person — but you can also just order a la carte too. They recommend flats for ladies, and booking in advance (say over at SmartTicket), since there are only about forty seats or so, but you can lounge on the grass all you like. The terrace is open Thursdays to Saturdays, from 5.30 to 10.30pm. Read on

    • Lace Up, Sneakerhead Paradise Solestage Opens This Month

Solestage Shanghai is supposed to open on 20 August.
