Chinese restaurant · Chinatown

"Open daily until 2:00am Gao’s Kabob is open every day until 1:30am and doesn’t really start getting busy until 9pm. Even on a random Monday, this BYOB Chinese BBQ spot is packed with people passing around six-packs while skewers of garlicky fried intestines and spicy grilled lamb land at each table. With all the activity (plus some music from Chinese variety TV shows) filling up the room, it’s the perfect place if you’re looking for a boisterous hang any night of the week.

Spiaggia

Italian restaurant · Gold Coast

"We’ve made the difficult decision not to re-open Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia. We were very much looking forward to welcoming back our family and guests. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our efforts to restructure our lease, which was necessary to reflect the realities of operating a restaurant in an office building, post-pandemic. It’s been an incredible journey, and we are beyond proud of, and grateful for, 37 remarkable years. From the moment we envisioned the restaurants, our passion has been to elevate fine dining Italian cuisine. The endless number of special occasions, the most passionate staff and the amazing talent still delighting guests around the country, will remind us that Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia will live forever."
