    Spice Market

    You can get lost wandering among the beautiful pagodas and Buddha-filled corners of Spice Market, yet another innovation from Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who has six restaurants in the city. Expect Asian street food taken up a notch: satay on a stick, mussels in lemongrass, chicken samosas and pork vindaloo. A night at the bar downing appetizers is just as fun (some say better) as the table experience.

    Beware that its initial days of being 'hot' have passed a bit, and the masses are now more likely to be tourists. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
