Hung-Ry
55 Bond St., NoHo, NYJapanese noodles have created absolute pandemonium in this city. Seats at Momofuku Noodle and Ippudo induce Odd Future style riots on a nightly basis.

Macao Trading Co.
311 Church St. #1, Tribeca, NY“Look for the red lantern,” instructs the Macao Trading Co. website. This is how you will know you have reached your destination – the Portuguese colony of Macao circa 1952, “a fugitive’s heaven from which there is no turning back.” Awesome. We’re apparently having dinner at Universal Studios tonight.
