...shop for familiar comfort foods that used to only exist Stateside. Think pastrami sandwiches and chunky potato salads. Rice Krispie treats and black-and-white cookies (good luck finding those anywhere else in Hong Kong outside of Seinfeld reruns). There's cheesesteaks for transplanted Philadelphians, and subs stuffed with roast turkey and cranberry sauce. "People would like to assume Americans go into McDonald's and go, 'Ah, home!' But it's not like that," Levin says. "As an expat you miss stuff...

Just make sure it's a client worth impressing?a meal for two with wine costs close to $200. For reservations, call...
...Mostly, though, the Minsk Club is all about the rallies, where aficionados ride out to the countryside to roast pigs and swap stories. It was at a recent gathering that enthusiasts sacrificed a reviled Honda Dream to the god of Minsk. Of course, the Dream thrown into the pig-roast blaze was a miniature paper model used in Vietnamese funeral ceremonies, not a full-size scooter. Then again, with devotion like this, it's hard to put anything past these true believers...
