Cocktails at Mildreds Soho

My friend sent me a message recently along the lines of "In Soho at the moment.  Where's good to eat?".  WTF.  That is far too vague for me.  It would be the same as me messaging someone "I'm in France at the moment.  Where's good to eat?"  Despite being overwhelmed with the brevity of the message, I did recommend Mildred's, a place I went to recently.

Cocktails at the Alice's Fantasy Restaurant Tokyo

My favourite Disney film is Aladdin.  You've got a badass princess with a tiger as her freakin pet (although I suspect animal rights groups might have some issues with this), a monkey wearing a fez and a blue genie.  However it's not cute and in Japan, the land of kawaii, cute goes.  Therefore it probably is no surprise that in Tokyo alone, there are 6 chains of Alice in Wonderland themed restaurants and I headed to Alice's Fantasy Restaurant in Shinjuku.

Cocktails at the Sky Lounge Stellar Garden Bar Tokyo

When I was a little lady, I always wanted to go to Japan.  Actually I wished I was Japanese (I was clearly going through some sort of oriental identity crisis).  Then for years I kept putting it off for lots of silly reasons and one depressing night when I was working late, I came to the startlingly original conclusion that I shouldn't put off what I love and I booked myself a flight to Japan for 2 weeks during the cherry blossom season.

Cocktails at the Gilbert Scott

I personally don't get the whole "getting hysterical when you turn 30" thing.  Maybe because I still look like I pass for 25 I can afford to sound glib but seriously! now that I'm 30, I have more money and I have better taste than when I was 16 (I don't mean to sound smug; it's from a low base of low taste at 16 years old).  What is there to wail about?  If we were turning 16, we would not have been going to The Gilbert Scott for drinks.

Bourne & Hollingsworth Fitzrovia Cocktail Bar Review

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I haven't posted anything up since November.  However, I want to make you feel reassured you that I have been drinking, it's just that it's unfortunately been on dates which means no big camera.  I've a lot to learn about boys but I'm pretty sure not speaking to them for the first 10 minutes as I orchestrate a mini photo shoot is not an ideal thing to do...although they would be a rather useful photographer's assistant.
