Parkson is a large and very popular department store on HuaiHai Road.  It also includes a supermarket in the basement.  Parkson’s is a perfect option for those looking to purchase both western and Chinese products in one location. Set up like a western grocery, the aisles are easy to navigate and offers a surprisingly diverse array of western products alongside typical Chinese items. Parkson and City Supermarket are right across the street from each other. With this convenience in mind I often start my grocery shopping at Parkson for the more affordable selection of Chinese and Western products. I then take the underground subway tunnel to City Supermarket to peruse the slightly more expensive, yet otherwise difficult to find foreign goods sold there. 
 
Parkson does carry a small selection of produce and fresh meat as well.
 
Security guards do not let customers enter the main area of the grocery store with any type of bag except a purse. There are lockers at the entrance, but they are not large.
 

Take Metro Line 1 to Shanxi Rd. Station. Follow signs for the Parkson subway exit.

Widely recognized as a first-class Shanghai restaurant, M on the Bund is perhaps the most celebrated restaurant in the city.  Despite the ups and downs of the restaurant business, M on the Bund has managed to succeed for 5 years, a long time in the life of any restaurant!  I had dinner here for the first time since my move here, and I was impressed with the meal, the service, and the ambiance.
 
The ambiance is pleasant in a classic style without much to draw your eye away from the view of the Pudong skyline.  The most noticeable (and memorable) design elements were the beautiful stemware and plates. I  wanted to take it all home with me! The staff was very service oriented, timing the meal perfectly and not rushing us out of the busy restaurant. The bar, in the back of the restaurant, is warm and cozy; a great place for a romantic drink.
 
Our meal was only partly successful. Half the table was extremely happy, while the other half was merely happy enough to eat about three quarters of their main course. Popular choices were the gnocchi and the lamb, the big loser was the suckling pig – not much flavor and a little too greasy.
 
Prices are on par with most of the restaurants on the Bund, around 800RMB per person for a cocktail, appetizer, main course, dessert, and bottle of wine for the table.  While it is indeed expensive, I recommend this restaurant, because it is still a highlight of Shanghai’s restaurant scene.  M on the Bund enjoys a unbeatable location with an undeniably beautiful view, and guests will not be disappointed by the ambiance.
 

How to get there:  Take Metro Line 2 to Henan Zhonglu Station. Walk for 15 minutes south on Henan Zhonglu. Take a left on Guangdong Lu. M on the Bund is in the building on the left just before you reaching the Bund.
