Dancing in the club, dancing in the canal, dancing in the streets: who are we to judge? Whether you're a lingerie-lovin' tease or a Friday-night queen, an art-foraging Saatchi-wannabe or you just like your tea, you've gotta love the weekend. So many distractions, so little time! Which is exactly where we come in…
See you on the other side,

 The Final Circus (… in Shoreditch)
Sob, you can't leave me like this. How could you?! What did I ever do to- Okay, fine. Go on then, leave. Take my Friday night dreams, trample on my weekend-loving heart. Damn you Circus! Well, if you must leave Shoreditch like this, leaving me with bog-standard nights that lack your camp mischief, then so be it. But at least go out with a bang. What's that my treacherous love, you are? Oh good. Well, I'm not saying I forgive you, but…

Gallery Mess
Art, a terrace in the sun and a knickerbockerglory. If this sums up your idea of a perfect way to spend at least some of the weekend then head to the new Saatchi Gallery Mess, the cafe/bar that's just opened at the King's Road modern art insitution.
The place is as tastefully and ecclesiastically designed as you'd imagine, with high vaulted ceilings and sandy brickwork, and the cafe part also provides a hanging space for some of the Saatchi Online artists.
Food is courtesy of more-than-just-a-posh-catering-company Rhubarb and includes things like a Great British Breakfast made with mindfully sourced ingredients from prime producers, such as Peter Gott's black pudding from Cumbria and Ramsay of Carluke bacon from Scotland, as well as prawn cocktail with "Bloody Mary" créme fraiche and cos lettuce. But the nicest surprise is that pretty much everything on the menu is under a tenner (with a glass of wine starting at £4), meaning you won't feel like you're forking out for a Gavin Turk buying lunch.
So check out a few abstract Americans (the current show, and possibly a few of the tourists), tuck into an organic burger and lean back feeling smugly well-fed and cultured.
