Musset update!
A quick post with the file for 'A Door (Must Be Open or Shut)'
Resto 24 Dear Pizza, Highbury
Resto 24 #dearpizza, #Highbury An excellent awning makes al fresco dining in the heat tolerable. Good #pizza and friendly service are a hit. As is the #estorick show of #campari related material. A perfect one-two in #Islington. #food #london
Resto 23 Firebrand Pizza, Lisson Grove
in Lisson Grove for a rather underwhelming production of Medea we wanted quick eats out of the sun. Firebrand Pizza looked a good bet. It’s a shady room with a big window to watch the folks of the Grove go by. The menu is standard pizza and starters so went for a platter of meat…
Resto 22 Viet Eat, Holborn
A condescending waiter and underwhelming food. Not a great combination.
Resto 21 Coriandre, Paris
Coriandre is a hit - healthy Indian food delivered by an enthusiastic team.
Resto 20 Au Cadrans du PLM, Paris
Professional waiter, cold beer and massive salad with big lumps of salty goat cheese au Cadran du PMU. Recommended.
Resto 19 Sathees, Paris
The Marché St Germain. It has an Apple store, a Marks and Spencer and an arcade. But it's not Covent Garden. Oh no, there's none of your stick riding Yodas here. Or tedious shouters with flamesticks shoved facewards, gurning for a jaded mob of tourist cretins. This is left-bank Paris and they're too civilised for that crap.
Sport and Leisure History Seminar
A brief post with information about Monday’s #Sport and Leisure #History seminar at the #IHR with Beth Gaskell giving a paper on the #military and #mdia in the #19thC
Resto 18 Bufala di Londra
The only way this meal could have been improved was if the restaurant was at the end of my street rather than being on the wrong side of the tracks.
The Crouch End Festival and Alfred de Musset
A fun part of the production has been assembling props - a 40s Woodbine astray, an old-fashioned bottle of scotch, a cigarette case and a whiff of 40s in the costume of the characters. And the cast - Anna Rogers, Matt Griffin and Ruari Johnson - have been extraordinarily successful at bringing Musset's characters to life in a faux-Fitzrovian setting.
