...burger has been around forever ... I wanted to try to give it a facelift," says Que Vinh Dang, executive chef at Duke's Burger, (852) 2526 7062, one of latest additions to Hong Kong's SoHo dining district. He's not the only one. Designer burgers - with the foie-gras toppings, sprinkled truffles and all the rest - have been popping up on menus everywhere these past few years. And there's already a cluster of better-class burger bars in Hong Kong. But Duke's Burger is by far the smartest (and newest) of them, and it offers a menu...
...customers in plush surroundings (complete with chandeliers) and laying out Molton Brown hand soap in the restrooms. But in the end, the food manages to do the job alone. Dang's burger interpretations are very creative, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation have more in common with SoHo's better bistros than its fast food joints.

...Network Effect If they can't stay in the city center, of course, New Yorkers will move - as cultural workers have done for decades, migrating from the West Village to Soho, from Soho to the East Village and from there across the river to Long Island City in Queens and to Williamsburg and Red Hook in Brooklyn. But in recent years those neighborhoods, too, have been gentrifying, pushing the cultural workforce even further afield. And that art-world diaspora causes a more subtle disruption to the fabric of the creative economy. Creative people thrive on interaction. They need...
...market at 99 Java Road you'll find the Tung Po seafood restaurant, tel: (852) 2880 9399. Ask for the owner Robby, or his partner Larry. Tell him you would like to order dishes Frank likes to eat. When you've finished dinner, take a cab back to the SoHo ("South of Hollywood Road") district, and go to the funkiest bar in Hong Kong, Feather Boa, tel: (852) 2857 2586. The place is always crowded and you will most likely have to elbow your way inside, but it is without doubt one of the most interesting places...
