In Shanghai, there are rare moments of peace. Rarer still are moments of peace that I manage to photograph well.
Las Tapas espresso
At Las Tapas, visiting for a late Lunch gets you a quiet, 1/3rd full restaurant and a tasty and reasonably priced set meal. The mackerel was excellent, but skip the potato salad in favor of the soup for your starter. Follow it with an espresso on a sunny, breezy spring day in Shanghai, and life on that quiet stretch of Maoming road feels a little slower and easier than the normal Shanghai Hustle. Nevermind that the laurel trees block out the three boom cranes rushing up a tower behind that wall.
