Splurge at The Villa's end of season sale, hit a foie gras cooking competition, get your groove on with Studio 188, join a paint mob, throw back some vodka at Chicha and wake up at the crack of dawn for The Kerry's Super Bowl party. We've rounded up six things for you to sink your teeth into this weekend.
End of Season Sale @ The Villa | BUY
The Villa is clearing their winter stock and this weekend they will be having a huge end of season sale. Head to the small boutique on Yueyang Lu and enjoy up to 40 percent off the entire store. We're eyeing off some pieces by Jason Wu, Alice + Olivia and Rag & Bone.
Foie Gras Cooking Competition @ Restaurant-Ecole | EAT & DRINK & WATCH
This culinary school and restaurant has set up a foie gras cooking competition with Rougie, the world's top producer of duck and goose liver. Two teams of chefs (French and Chinese) will go head to head to produce four-course menus; diners will get to do their best Gordon Ramsey impression on both the menus as a whole and each dish individually. RMB480 includes two starters, two mains, dessert and Champagne and wine pairings.
Studio 188 @ PG Live | WATCH & DRINK & PLAY
Feel like having a bit of a boogie this Saturday night? Studio 188, one of Shanghai's greatest soul bands, will be performing at PG Live for the very first time. Head along to the gig to witness the nine-piece band belt out classic rock tunes and a healthy serving of soul. One thing is certain; you'll be up out of your seat and dancing all night long.
Art Attack @ Cafe Sambal | PLAY & DRINK
How often do you just let those creative juices flow? For RMB200 join the "paint mob" on Sunday and express yourself freely on an empty canvas. A rainbow of colors at your disposal, a glass of wine at your side--the only decision you have to make beforehand is whether you want to bring someone along or make new friends there.
Vodka Night @ Chicha | DRINK
Every Sunday from 9pm to 1am, Chicha Lounge does RMB40 vodka cocktails and chilled out tunes so you can relax and reminisce about the weekend. Join friendly mixologist Hector Monroy and the crew for a classy way to wind down and get a couple last cocktails before Monday comes around.
Sunday (Monday) Superbowl @ The Kerry | WATCH & EAT & DRINK
So technically the Super Bowl won't reach us until Monday morning, but we're going to include it in this week's blog post anyway. NFL fans have probably already seen our big list of where to watch it, but we’re liking the look of the party over at The Kerry Hotel. They’re hosting the official NFL Super Bowl party with a full-American buffet breakfast, free-flow beer from The BREW, mimosas and veteran NFL players will be there tossing around the pigskin. Enjoy the game live on the biggest LED screen around, in their ballroom. Wear your team colors for special prizes. Prices run at RMB250 per adult, RMB150 for kids or RMB2,000 for a table of ten.
