"Graduation is a profound milestone. It’s also one of the few occasions where a bunch of relatives, say, divorced parents, are forced to be in the same room together. That’s why you need distractions and Hutong has the kind of views that will stop any “who was the rightful owner of that Blade Runner DVD” conversations in their tracks. This is an ultra-swish Chinese restaurant inside the Shard where an order of the peking duck is essential. The dim sum is also a highlight and if you’re being bankrolled by your parent’s inevitable guilt, know that they also have some pretty spectacular private dining rooms." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
