Brasil! Brasil!
With nearly all of the artwork from collections not just outside of the UK but from across the Atlantic it's well worth catching this show, especially if you want to dream of tropical climes during this chilly London February.
Resto 3, Fortnum & Mason Wine Bar, Piccadilly
After a hard day hitting the books in the London Library (Edmund White’s excellent The Flâneur in prep for a March Paris trip) it was time for a bit of pre-exhibition grub. We didn’t want to go too far and Al Duca is in the middle of a refurb so we opted for F&M’s Wine…
Resto 2, Corbaçi, Green Lanes
For £15 a head I don't think you could get better value anywhere else on Green Lanes (except, perhaps Umut 2000). Recommended.
Resto 45 Bubala, Soho
We took coffee down the road at Flat White, which since I was last there in the 2010s appears to discovered that Billy Idol is C-O-O-L. Sorry kids, I was there and he was C-R-A-P. Thankfully their coffee remains superb.
