This past summer, one of my friends from back home, who is half-Jewish, went to Israel through a program sponsored by American patrons and the Israeli government. When he got back we went to a restaurant in Chinatown that’s open till 3 a.m. and he told me all about it.

...been making to Foxwoods have finally paid dividends—Mussolini cleaned house at a poker tournament in Leverett over the weekend. But he found himself in the hole again later on that same evening after losing a beer chugging contest to Myst, a dancer at a Chinatown strip club, and then losing a double-or-nothing arm-wrestling contest with Trinity, Myst’s on-stage companion.

Beautiful young girls in short dresses are dancing to techno with their boyfriends at the Water Bar disco in Chinatown on a Saturday night, right next to a group of funky gay Asians, while a more mature Caucasian in black is doing Mick Jagger imitations with a tall, brush-cut young Chinese in baggy jeans. But wander over to Taboo, the must-go, packed-out gay disco on Tanjong Pagar...
