...pleasures of the privileged, the Icehouse is now enjoyed by many. And it's no longer a place to cool off. Instead, weekend nights are smoking hot?thanks to the smoldering licks of resident players Melvin Taylor and the Slack Band. Customers whistle, whoop and clap in cocktail-fuelled bonhomie as the band turns up the heat?and the sounds of bulldozing that seem to accompany every waking hour in modern-day Beijing seem far away indeed...
...author, like his novelist-colleague Stephen L. Carter, is a Yale law professor. He looked a a bit out of place at a noisy BookExpo cocktail party.

Then meander through the French Concession's sycamore-lined streets to my favorite hole-in-the-wall eatery, Jishi, on Tianping Road. Adventurous eaters can dig their chopsticks into Jishi's signature braised fish head nestled in deep-fried scallions. Desserts and after-dinner drinks...
