Who:   Jet-set execs, their expat wives and assorted fashionable groupies who refuse to be burdened by the grit of street-level reality.
What:   A bar, two restaurants and a view to write home about (asking for more money). Redefining irony, Aqua offers urban-chic mixed drinks aboard its replica of an ancient Chinese boat, so you can indulge your vanity and honor tradition in the same decadent evening. Sure to invoke nauseating platitudes about "old meets new" in that letter home.
Why:   Undeniably one of the most striking atmospheres in the city, worth an overpriced drink and some house bread to enjoy. Embrace the guilty feeling that says "people starved somewhere so I could enjoy Morlacco Monostalla served in an elephant tusk bowl."
