curating memorable experiences around the world
Washington DC may be best known for politics and power suits, but the bar scene here tells a different kind of story. From speakeasy-style hideaways to world-renowned cocktail laboratories, the District is brimming with creativity, character, and craft. Whether you’re after a perfectly stirred martini, a whiskey list that reads like a novel or a [...]
Up there with Tayto and Baileys, this boozy take on coffee is one of Ireland's greatest exports. While it might sound simple enough, it's a careful balance of sugar and whiskey - getting the mix right so that whipped cream floats on top like magic. So, it's no surprise that this is one cocktail I [...]
Bringing a slice of NYC's Italian dining scene to London, Sette is the Knightsbridge newbie located within the Bulgari hotel. With sexy interiors and the kind of menu that made Scarpetta such a hit in New York, I had to see what all the fuss was about. Wanna read my full review? Head to DesignMyNight for the [...]
From beef crumpets at brunch to ox cheek pastrami for dinner, this isn't your usual cocktail bar...
In case you've been living under a rock, Taste of London is back.

‘Tis the season to wine and dine, right? I can’t even tell you how much I’ve eaten over the last few days and if that wasn’t enough, I kicked things off with a fancy Christmas dinner at Fancy Crab last week. Located on Marylebone’s Wigmore Street, the seafood-centric spot has gone all out this season. With an entrance [...]
When I moved into my new flat earlier this month, I found myself rediscovering old clothes; dresses I'd long forgotten about, tops I used to love and even shoes I hadn't worn in ages. With all of London's new openings, it's easy to forget about your old favourites, but sometimes you've gotta head back and [...]
ICYMI: London Cocktail Week was back and bigger than ever last week. Over 300 bars were selling special £6 serves, the cocktail village had tripled in size and there were a tonne of events to get involved in. So naturally, I did just that. First up was a Tuesday night party with Pernod Ricard. [...]
