Ever since I stumbled across Lee Ho Fook's in Chinatown during the Lunar New Year, I've been working on a pub crawl incorporating the lyrics to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London". Today... we put it to the test.

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain

The Dog & Duck Pub, Soho
A great little Victorian pub located on a back street in Soho (which... if you think about it, gives a whole new meaning to the term "maneater")

He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein

Lee Ho Fook's Chinese Restaraunt, Chinatown
Sooo... no beef chow mein on the menu, but Ray actually tried chopsticks without using a pencil sharpener to fashion them into a skewer

Ah-oo, Werewolves of London
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Ah-oo, Werewolves of London
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair

The Audley Pub, Mayfair
Another Victorian pub with a great interior

Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Ah-oo, Werewolves of London
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London

The Queen's Head Pub
Sue me... this one was a reach, but still fits the theme

sorta

I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's

Trader Vic's, Park Lane

And his hair was perfect
Ah-oo, Werewolves of London
Draw blood

and as a side note... Happy Birthday Doug!!!
