The White Horse, The City
Train station or commuter pubs are notoriously bad. At best, they serve reasonable beers, and nowadays a decent glass of wine, but they tend to lack atmosphere and character. Which is hardly surprising given the transient nature of their punters. The White Horse, in Exchange Square, might take umbrage as being mentioned in the same breath. But given its location (just behind Liverpool Street Station) and its core clients (City commuters, albeit not exclusively), the description just about fits. Just about.
The Taste of Auterity: Ingredients
It never occurred to me to look for inexpensive ingredients. By cooking at home, I'm saving loads (and eating healthier). But I'm more than open to the idea of cheap ingredients that taste like a million bucks.

The Riding House Cafe, Fitzrovia
What a transformation. The Riding House Café is located in what was once the heartland of London’s rag trade, yet in its previous life it was anything but fashionable. A middle-of-the-road chain pub - and even more mundane Asian chain canteen - were its predecessors, with neither being in any way destination venues.
The Battery Club, Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf is unrecognisable from the gangster-ridden Docklands depicted in the seminal British movie, The Long Good Friday.
Sober Dating
I like to drink, and when it comes to a date, there's nothing I like more than pulling up a bar stool and getting a bit tipsy with someone new.
Two Chicks In a Taxi
Two Chicks founders Anna and Alla take the Reuters taxi challenge to explain the benefits of their liquid egg whites business.
Sparkling Water: It's More Fun
Yesterday, I broke down and bought a Soda Stream, and I now have a permanent source of sparkling water in my kitchen. Overnight, my quality of life (and probably my health health) has totally improved.
The Century Club, Soho
Wow. The Rushmore Group has proved me wrong. I was beginning to think that the team that brought us Milk and Honey (still going strong after ten years) followed by the influential mid-century modern bar The East Rooms (tragically lost in a fire) seemed to be stuttering.

Five of the Best
Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.
- No doubt: these are the hippest speakers that could ever possibly bookend your computer. Is your music collection ready?
- An idea for your next rendezvous in Paris (or crazy weekend with friends): a private cruise in a motorboat for three hours of Champagne-fueled romance (or fun).
- While we are rarely ones to turn down a charitable opportunity, how about taking that pile of spring cleaning cast-offs to a car boot sale? We're pretty sure you could get a new handbag out of the proceeds...
- We're loving this bold, striped tie from Paul Stuart. The meek need not click.
- The coolest personalised cufflinks around are these. They include words, names or places, which run off the surface creating a rather ambiguous stream of letters. (And let's face it: a bit of mystery never hurt anyone.)
