| | Friday | |  |  |  | | | DRINK: | | EAT: | | Cocktails at the Beaufort Bar | | L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele | | | Kick off your Friday at the Savoy Hotel’s Beaufort Bar – one of UJ’s faves. Their new cocktail menu, launching from today, explores the hotel’s history through a range of 20 inventive drinks. From the 1920s through to the present day, drink your way through the hotel’s stories with essences of leather, spices, paper, walnut and chocolate.
| | It’s finally here. Napoli’s famous L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele – actually dubbed by some as the best pizzeria in the world (yes, the whole world) – has arrived in Stoke Newington. Be prepared to spend your Friday night queueing, as it’s understandably busy, or skip the lines by ordering a takeaway for a Napoli night in.

| | Saturday | |  | |  | | | GO: | | TRY: | | London Gin Festival | | The Dandelyan’s ‘Vices of Botany’ | | | It might be Pisco Sour Week, but this weekend is all about GIN! Fans of the juniper-based spirit rejoice, because the Gin Festival arrives at the Tobacco Dock this weekend. With a selection of gins from around the world, each distiller is on hand to bombard you with all the ginformation you could want.
| | We love any excuse for drinks at the Mondrian’s Dandelyan bar, and Ryan Chetiyawardana launches the fourth chapter of his botanical narrative this weekend, entitled ‘Vices of Botany’. The menu explores the darker side of the plant world, with cocktails divided into four sections: faith, lust, currency and rock n roll. The Arsenic Waltz sounds like a nightcap we’d like to try.

| | BOOK NOW: | | | Tree of Codes | | | Sponsored Listing | |  | | | Company Wayne McGregor and Paris Opera Ballet have collaborated with Jamie xx and Olafur Eliasson to create Tree of Codes, the show that wowed the Manchester International Festival in 2015. Taking inspiration from Jonathan Safran Foer’s book of the same name, which is physically carved out of the pages of another novel, 15 dancers explore the set which mirrors the sculptural aspects of the book. It makes a much anticipated visit to London’s Sadler’s Wells for the first time this March.
| | | | The Tree of Codes runs from 4-11th March at Sadler’s Wells, with tickets available here.

|
| | Sunday | |  | |  | | | EAT: | | DANCE: | | Calçot Lunches at Ember Yard | | Gilles Peterson at Phonox | | | If you don’t know your calçot, get to know: it’s a bit like a spring onion, but better. Soho’s Ember Yard is celebrating the Catalonian delicacy throughout February with a special weekend lunch menu, including chargrilled calçots with smoked romesco and duck egg, roasted chicken leg with piquillo, and blood orange cake with fennel ice cream. All washed down with a glass of cava, naturally.
| | We love a good Sunday night party. We also love Phonox. This Sunday, the British DJ and label boss comes to the Brixton venue to play all night long, spinning his eclectic selection of worldwide beats, jazz, funk and soul. You never know quite what to expect from a Gilles Peterson set, but it’s always good.
