Sheung Wan’s buzzing
If LKF gets a little too heaving for you, how about getting off just one station later and having a look ’round Sheung Wan instead? Take a wander round the super-cool Tai Ping Shan Street, which is jam-packed with loads of little gems or follow our suggestions to eat your way round the entire area – breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are loads of hip restaurants in the area too (tacos at Heirloom, pizzas at 208, meat meat and more meat at Blue Butcher) or you could even pick up a meal to cook at home from Sassy faves Secret Ingredient – so there’s no excuse for an empty stomach either!
The big names hit HK
Our job at Sassy is to give you all the heads up for any special events that might be heading our way… and in case you missed it, some big names are hitting up the 852 over the next few months! Did someone say Snow Patrol, Maroon 5, Noel Gallagher (note: with his new band, not Oasis!), The Pretenders and The Beach Boys? Surely you’ll find a touch of musical inspiration from one of the bunch… so there’s no excuse for missing out!
When: August and September
Where: HKCEC, KITEC or AsiaWorld Expo
