Summer (can we say summer yet?) is feeling buuuuuuusy! But alas, we have the Queen’s Jubilee coming up. We plan on using that bank holiday to enjoy our fair city – book a new restaurant / hotel, go to an exhibition, get a haircut. It really is about the little things! But until that time, there’s a lot to fit in…. Have great weeks all.

 | |  | | | 100 Shoreditch | | Cal-I-For-Ni-A | | Comes to LDN | | | There’s a bit of a Cali trend sweeping through town. For rooftops, there’s Laurel’s on the Roof at the Mondrian, inspired by 70s Hollywood / Laurel Canyon, and open for the first time to the public this summer. A stone’s throw away, there’s One Hundred Shoreditch’s Palm Springs-inspired rooftop, with cactus and Cali cuisine, and for something a bit sweeter, Hackney-based Cali bakery Violet Cakes has a California Cookie, a collab with San Fran-based Guittard chocolate. If you want the real thing instead, book a flight!

|  | | | Bentley's Bar | | Friday Lunches | | Are back | | | Have you gotten the memo? Fridays are for lunching. In UJ Land, this has always been the way, but a flurry of recent Friday lunch invites have made it official: Fridays are for (fun) business lunches. Our pick? Anything old skool with great bar dining. How about Wiltons? See you there.

On the wine front, Hackney’s Provisions is reopening their wine bar (Wed-Friday) and 28°-50° Wine Workshop & Kitchen is opening end of May. And as for residencies, the head chefs from The Norman in Tel Aviv will be taking over the kitchen at Carousel for a week in June.
