Sometimes, only the greasiest of 2 a.m. Chinese food will do. But when we’re in the mood for spare ribs, scallion pancakes, and noodles that don’t feel like a block of cement in our stomach for the next seven hours, we’ve found that South End eatery Myers+Chang (1145 Washington Street, Boston, 617.542.5200) is the perfect solution. M+C, which has lived up to the foodie buzz that only a couple like Joanne Chang (Flour) and Christopher Myers (Radius, Via Matta, Great Bay) could inspire, melds Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese influences for a fresh twist on the traditional that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Add executive chef Alison Hearn — formerly of Ten Tables and B&G Oysters — to the mix and it’s a can’t-miss. If that isn’t enough, Myers+Chang’s spirited atmosphere makes it an easy choice when we’re craving a festive launching pad for a great night out.
