London for Insiders: June 2011
http://londonforinsiders.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Jun 30, 2011. Last Bistrotheque pop-up was epic. In the middle of the Olympic site, amazing views, great food, convivial atmosphere, tequlia cockails (thus convivial atmosphere).

Hopefully they won't be pulling a Blumenthal and making glorified toasties. It's £45 a head, with booze. DO IT. NOW. She loves to ...

May 23, 2011. Hey, I'm a London jew. A totally secular, clueless London jew. But still. I know "they" hang out in Stamford Hill, right near my place.

Dentro do hotel tem o restaurante El Olivo,...
