Hotpot Paradise Ordinarily an informal affair, hot-pot gets the upscale treatment at branches of this swish chain (also called Ding Ding Xiang). The mixed-vegetable platter and the sampler dish of Inner Mongolian lamb will give you plenty of things to simmer, and go well with either the mushroom broth or the herbal black-chicken soup.

Chiansixianshige The custom at this homely venue in central southeastern Beijing is to cook your meal not in broth but in zhou, or congee, a watery rice porridge. The list of what you can simmer in it is worthy of Noah's Ark. Try the wild mountain chicken, which is not, in this case, a euphemism for frog (though that is available) but an actual fowl.

They are wonderful when it comes to the quotidian checkups that most of us use you for—but when it comes to a head wound, especially on a busy Friday or Saturday, the frightening possibility exists that bedside...
...expansion plans in Allston have traditionally been met with heated dialogue and suspicion from residents of the local community.
