This place is owned by a friend of mine and is a really awesome fusion take on the hotdog. You can get everything from a Peking Duck hotdog to a Sichuan Spicy hotdog. Love this place.

You just have to try hot pot while you are in China and Haidilao has the best service of any business in China. They are known for excellent service. If there is a long wait to get a table, no worries get a manicure or gentlemen get your shoes shined while you wait.

Avocado Lady is a must for all the essentials you cannot find at local supermarkets. Avocado Lady has built a reputation by having avocado available at a time when there were no avocado in Shanghai, but she has everything from good cheeses, to peanut butter, to cereal and all the things that you miss from home but cannot get at local stores.

The Beer Lady is a staple for any beer lover. The best imported beer options in Shanghai and The Beer Lady is just the most charismatic person you will meet in Shanghai. She is really cool and a lover of beer. She does not speak very much English but that does not prevent her from providing amazing service and making sure you have a really great time.

Parks & Nature
Fuxing Park
Really great place to picnic.
Shanghai's most iconic park. It is kind of a must see for tourists. It is Shanghai's version of Central Park in New York although not as impressive. Be prepared to be stalked by people trying to scam you. Say no to anything related to tea, and beware of very attractive young women being overly friendly, they are often involved in scams.

Doc Guthries Barber Shop. Really awesome place where I get my haircut. They service all types of hair for men and women who want a buzz cut. When I first arrived in Shanghai three years ago I resorted to cutting my own hair. I found Doc Guthries not long ago and have been going thereut ever since. Lexzavior in the back is my homie always has great stories to tell and he know's how to do fades, ceasars, line ups, and can set you straight with a straight edge and scissors. They also serve a glass of whiskey with your cut.

Arts & Culture
This entire street is the epicenter of modern art and street art in Shanghai. It has a lot of really cool small galleries and other spaces where up and coming artists display their work. My absolute favorite part of it though is the wall along the road is constantly being changed by street and graffiti artists. If you are into art and modern or street art then Moganshan Road is a must visit in Shanghai. I used to go for runs along this street because I enjoyed how the artists change the landscape of the place so often.

Great cigar shop with a very well kept humidor and a great variety of cigars. The managers are very knowledgable and understand that cigars are living and breathing and not just products. These guys really know their cigars and are aficionados not just sales men.
