EAT:
The Ivy CafÉ |
 |
| Head to Marylebone for a take on a café done the Ivy way. Dine on marmite crumpets, HLTs (a haloumi take on the BLT), and lobster risotto in the Martin Brudnizki designed interior – marble floors, vintage leather banquettes, antique brass top bar… you know the look. And sticking to the ethos of a café, they've promised to leave half their tables free for walk ins. 50% reservations / 50% walk ins… restaurants, take note. |

SEE:
Alexander Calder: Performing Sculpture at the Tate |
| |
| A hanging mobile may not seem revolutionary, but if made by Alexander Calder, its inventor, it's definitely worth a look. A pioneer in kinetic sculpture, Calder was the first artist to bring movement to sculptures. And to honour his modernist works, the Tate is hosting a retrospective exploring how he shaped movement in art, cementing his nickname, the master of motion. |

TREND:
Guest Series |
| |
| London's restaurant scene has gone the way of festivals: pre-pay tickets, one-off events and big bill line-ups. Lyle's has begun doing a monthly Guest Series – and tonight, sommelier Johan Agrell and chef Olle Cellton of Babette in Sweden will be the kitchen. This weekend, Druid Street Market kicks off a series of pop-up spots every Saturday for five weeks. Thanks to Chefs of Tomorrow, expect to sample dishes by chefs from the kitchens of Fera, Petersham Nurseries, 64 Degrees, Som Saa, and Silo, to name a few. Or, if you prefer a good ol' battle, later this month, spread over two dates, Berber & Q will go head to head with Chick 'n' Sours. Book your tickets here. |

|
'A glorious joyride.' Guardian
|
|
On a hallucinatory road trip from the Badlands to Graceland, the spirits of Elvis Presley and Theodore Roosevelt battle over the soul of Ann, a painfully shy meat-processing plant worker, and what kind of man or woman Ann should become. Set against the boundless blue skies of the Great Plains and endless American highway, RoosevElvis is a new work about gender, appetite, and the multitudes we contain. It's created by the TEAM, a Brooklyn-based ensemble dedicated to creating new work about the experience of living in America today. |

The Veuve Clicquot Widow Series |
|
|
| Sponsored listing |
|
|
| |
| Veuve Clicquot’s first year of #TheWidowSeries launched with a two night bang, hosting both a private party and a consumer and UJ night. Set in the abandoned Central Saint Martins (now, 'The College'), the vaulted space was home to rooms of installations to the theme of #abeautifuldarkness by the ever-talented Nick Knight. “Gothic glam” -clad guests roamed around as they pleased, making haunted discoveries along the way; behind every door was a dark surprise. Highlights included a Gareth Pugh styled rave, live taxidermy, candlelit gallery viewings, and haunted performances throughout. The Veuve Clicquot bar and secret tasting cellar were buzzing all night, and the techno soundtrack from Josh Quinton and Charles Jeffrey was standout. This truly was a special affair – we can’t wait to see what they do next year. And for those of you who joined us there, thank you for coming out! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. |
