    Laowaijie is a pedestrian street lying across the border of Minhang District and Changning District with the feature dedicated to catering for food hunters and drinkers. Foreigner Street is located in a nice area of Shanghai. It's clean and well situated near Longxi Metro Station.
    Foods served at dozens of restaurants parading along Laowaijie range from international cuisines like Italian, Mexican, German, and American to local specialties like Shanghainese, Cantonese, and Sichuanese.
    In addition to the various food options that bring in a food carnival to gourmets, a couple of dozen bars have brought a wide range of drinks to this fascinating alley.
    Good place to find many pubs and western food. Great bars and food with plenty of choice. Easy to reach, nearby Hongqiao airport , with great old colonial building converted into restaurants and pubs. It is very popular with locals and expats. Especially great for Friday night and weekends. It has six Chinese restaurants and 24 foreign restaurants and bars.

    I saw the Cotton Club reunion here. The venue is nice with table seating and table service. Great venue. I would return for a show to The Pearl.

    Apparently, hittin' up new jazz joints is a thing I now do whenever I visit Shanghai, as I have now gone to two in the past two weeks.

    Jazz at Lincoln Center, Shanghai, did not disappoint, the class and elegance you would expect from a Jazz Club. Perfect timing allowed me to buy a ticket (which included a drink) and find myself what turned out to be a great seat. I got there early because that's how Virgos do, but suite yourself.

    I saw a one-night engagement of Elsa & The Fungs, who played for about two hours, including a short intermission. They were tight and on point, as was the venue, a perfect match, if only for a night.

    I'd defiantly come back, but that might be against the rules, as I will try not to repeat, but based on my experience tonight, I will certainly keep an eye on their calendar of shows...

    I smoke cigars, and wanted to listen to some music and have a drink while puffing on a stogie, but they do not have a huge selection. Some Cubans, though. There was a jazz group (piano, guitar, and sax) with a female singer from Las Vegas. She had a good voice, and the band was reasonably good. They played some Frank Sinatra, and some of the songs were in Chinese. That got the attention of the crowd, who were mostly Asian (as one would expect in Shanghai). The sets were shorter than I had hoped, but I enjoyed them.

    I did not sample the food, so cannot comment on that.
