The Taste of Austerity: Autumnal Entertaining
There is an art to having friends over. But it doesn't need to be fine art; it can also be pop art, or creative art. And it doesn't need to cost a fortune (especially if everyone brings a bottle of wine). This starts the first series-in-a-series, beginning with the Party (with a capital P).
Where to Go For a Naughty Night Out
Thinking about the weekend already? As a singleton about town, I've been checking out places to go. Discovering a hidden gem is all about looking hard - much like searching through the markets for that special find.
Barrio Central
Barrio is a Spanish word meaning district or neighbourhood, although in the US, barrio is more commonly used as the Latino equivalent of a 'ghetto'. Islington, North London’s answer to Clapham, is anything but a barrio. A once vibrant, multicultural and artistic area, by the noughties Islington (and Clapham) had descended into MOR, Starbuck-loving blandness.
Enoteca da Luca
When I first arrived in the UK from a third world island of the South Pacific (New Zealand), I chanced upon a new and innovative way of eating food. Tapas was a concept unheard of in early-'90s Polynesia (which becomes obvious when you see the size of people down there). As a food style, it quickly became a favourite of mine.
Two Floors in Soho
One of the questions people often ask me is why I insist on focussing on City bars. After all, as these folks are quick to remind me, there are many great bars all over London which clearly I either haven’t been too, or simply haven’t heard of.
The Nightjar
There's a certain glamour attached to the Prohibition era - the Charleston, gangsters, illegal speakeasies. In credit-crunched Britain, one could argue the time is rife for our own bit of '30s-style indulgence, and this is a challenge which Nightjar has taken up with aplomb.
The Guilty Pleasure That Is Abacus
Guilty Pleasures are now a ubiquitous part of London’s nightlife. You know the drill. Take a once-famous nightclub, dress it up in ironic décor, and play music that you might love and even own (Toto, Foreigner, the Kids from Fame), but would never admit to. (Well certainly not to anyone that you were trying to impress.)
