Widow Brown (the building’s last tenant) wouldn’t know what hit her. While the décor hasn’t changed much (it’s still a mix of homey and ski lodge), the food certainly has, and all for the better. Hunan Springs serves up dishes a step or two (or three) above your typical Chinese restaurant. Whether you’re taking out or eating in, you’ll have your pick between an impressive array of seafood, pork, beef, duck and lamb options, not to mention several chef specials. Try the Bo Bo Platter appetizer for two ($13)—a delicious assortment of egg rolls, BBQ ribs, shrimp toast, chicken wings, teriyaki beef and cheese puffs, served around a towering flame. This is not your father’s Chinese. (Open M-Th 11:30a-10p; F-Sa noon-11p; Su noon-9:30p.)
