The brand new el Willy, Saturday markets to browse, single-friendly parties, all-you-can-eat ribs, the Australia Day barbecue and a delicious chocolate workshop. We've found six things for you to salivate over this weekend.



New digs @ el Willy | EAT & DRINK
The old el Willy location closed up shop last Saturday, but you can get your grub on again at the new restaurant tonight. The new Bund location is now open for business, so head over to 22 Zhongshan Dong Er Lu (5/F) for some seriously good eats.



A couple of markets | SHOP
Forget the cold, pretend that it’s summer and go and hit up a couple of markets this Saturday. There are two going on which have caught our eye. The Charity Flea Market always has something for everyone with a nice collection of new and old goodies. Or head over to Jiashan Market for the Desinger’s Corner. Here you’ll find local designers and boutiques peddling their threads. Wants some names? Cukimber, Shanghai Yogi, the hat lab, Amazed & Confused, C-Lucky, Hummingbird and FINCH Life Style are all going to be there. It might be just the place to pick up that last-minute Valentine’s Day gift.



Sexy singles | DRINK & PLAY
Single and ready to mingle? With V Day looming, there are a couple of singles’ parties happening around Shanghai. Charity organization BEAN are hosting a party this Saturday night over at LOgO. Expect drink deals, prize giveaways and a saucy bachelor and bachelorette auction. OK, Deal! Club is also hosting their annual Lock & Key Valentine’s Day Party. Head over to Lost Heaven to take part in all the sexy action.



Ribs and beer @ Wings Sports Bar | EAT & DRINK
By now you probably realize that we are all just a bunch of fatties over here at the City Weekend office. So in the spirit of high cholesterol, why not head over to Wings Sports Bar on Saturday night and indulge in their all-you-can-eat ribs and all-you-can-drink draft beer deal. For just RMB195 you can gorge on as many ribs as possible and knock back countless pints of draft beer. The deal goes from 5pm – 8pm, so get in early and BYOB (bring your own bib).



AustCham Aussie BBQ @ Le Méridien Sheshan | EAT & DRINK & PLAY
We think that the guys over at AustCham misread their calendar, but we’re going to plug their Australia Day BBQ anyway. AustCham Shanghai are throwing their annual Australia Day bash over at the Le Méridien Sheshan this Sunday. The BBQ lunch will include fresh draft beer from The BREW, free-flow Australian wines and plenty of children’s entertainment to keep the little ones giddy too.



Raw chocolate Workshop | EAT
If the usual confectionery store delights aren't your thing, learn how to make these health-conscious raw chocolates this Sunday. Dairy-free, sugar-free, preservatives-free and packed with antioxidants, they make an indulgence that likely won't last until Valentine's Day.
