If you’re a foodie in Shanghai and are looking for interesting events, M on the Bund has an ongoing series of food and wine talks, as well as a range of historical and musical events. You can find the whole range of events here: http://www.m-restaurantgroup.com/mbund/Upcoming-events.html
In case you missed it, we gave a talk on the state of Shanghai street food last Friday. We can’t post the whole presentation here, but we’ve put together a handout that covers some of our favorite vendors, restaurants, and street food places left in the city. You can get the gist of it below:
