1 2 3

(via) It doesn’t look all that special from the street, but sandwich shop The Press, located in Shanghai’s old French Concession district, hides a dark and sexy secret: an easy-on-the-eyes speakeasy called Flask. Both spaces were conceived of by the same designer, Alberto Caiola, and yet the two spaces couldn’t be more different. Connected by an unassuming-looking vintage vending machine, one says eat and go while the other says drink and linger.
