Here’s a little Hollywood magic we can all look forward to. Dystopian action franchise The Hunger Games will see a November 20 worldwide release of the fourth and final installment of the epic story, Mockingjay – Part 2. The conclusion of the series will send Katniss Everdeen into the lion's den of the capital as she attempts to assassinate President Snow (Donald Sutherland), who’s also hellbent on destroying her, as the entire nation of Panem is in a full scale revolutionary war.
For the first four years of its existence, Modernista's bar and restaurant shared the same space – we'd be lying if we said we hadn't hoovered up a plate of their hummus and pitta at the bar after one too many Yanjings. Now, following extensive renovations earlier this year, Modernista European-style Restaurant finally has its own space, just next door to the current bar and performance area.
As our vendors organizers scramble around Galaxy SOHO hauling humongous bags of cheese, mountains of dough, swimming pools worth of sauce, and all-importantly, fire up those pizza ovens, we wanted to give you a quick reminder as to how to get there to the Beijinger 2015 Pizza Cup Launch Party, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 8pm.
This coming Monday, October 19, Vineyard Cafe by the River will close for renovations as Arrow Factory transforms the space into Arrow Factory Brewery, complete with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Split Works were gearing up for another season of gigs, fresh off their Black Rabbit Festival in Shanghai last month. Texan, Alan Palomo’s hip day-glo pop project Neon Indian will be coming to Beijing next month (Nov 19) at Yugong Yishan. It will no doubt be a great show for anyone into the whimsical vibes of the pseudo-psychedelic synth pop sub-genre, chillwave that includes artists like Washed Out or Toro Y Moi.
We've been singing the praises of TRB Bites@The Courtyard as one of the best, if not the best, dining deals in the city since it opened about a month ago. Now you can experience this smart casual dining concept from the team behind TRB at even more monumental value at the latest BJ Foodies dinner, taking place this Sunday (Oct 18), 7.30pm.
As I wrote on Tuesday, now is the time to plan your next holiday, which means Christmas or for non-home visits, Spring Festival/Chinese New Year, which starts February 8, 2016.
That date means a couple of things. It means that unlike the occasional January 20-something Spring Festival, the date falls too late to play-fake your way through leaving after Christmas and coming back after Chinese New Year. Also, Valentine's Day occurs during that week, so if your travel plans include a significant other, factor that event into your itinerary.
