Brooklyn : New York :: ____ : Beijing

a) Sanlitun
b) Qianmen
c) Gulou

That might give you unpleasant memories of standardized tests, but the answer should jump quickly to mind. Gulou, of course. It's a comparison that makes sense in many ways – the neighborhood vibe, hip bars amidst small local shops, gentrification – and I've heard it bandied about in town often. But the New York Times is "discovering" it, finally, and had their wits about them to scoop up a profile on Gulou for their Travel section's "Heads Up" column.  

Though awards season in the rest of the world is winding down, here in Beijing, it's just beginning.

Having cast my vote for the past several years, this is the first year I've had the pleasure of helping to organize the Beijinger's Reader Restaurant Awards. So, as your new Dining Editor, I'm excited to see where you, dear Beijingers, choose for your "Best of's" in our tenth annual Reader Restaurant Awards. While we don't expect you to vote in every category, I've found there's always reason to celebrate in this city, and I expect you have strong ideas to share on where best to revel in Beijing. Look below to see our nominees for "Best Place for Celebration," and write in your own unlisted underdog on the ballot if you don't see your favorite spot featured.
