"At Noodle & Beer Chinatown, phones flash as braised beef ribs are expertly snipped off the Flintstone-like bone and walk-ins hunker down over Sichuan dishes at the counter. But it’s the sexy little basement you should make a beeline for at 1am. It’s a red room with enough velvet, mirrors, and sparkling sake Negronis to kick your night into high gear. Soak up any regrets from the night with comforting, chilli oil-coated blanket noodles." - jake missing, sinead cranna
