The beverage: Latte.

Three hundred and sixty-five days

Headed to the Village Deli to get some takeaway breakfast. Waffles with maple syrup, fruit and cream. Heavy in all senses.

Needed a quick livener from next door while I was waiting. Double espresso time.

And so began the day. We headed into town and checked in here (St Martin’s Lane). Went for lunch (Bodean’s – where else? (See previous posts below)). Bought Alice a dress to wear out for dinner, and headed here (Curzon Soho) to see this (Mesrine: Killer Instinct).

Later, we headed to Bar Italia for another livener. Double espresso again. Always works at Bar Italia. Then at 9pm we moved on to dinner here (Andrew Edmunds). I ate veal steak in a cream sauce. Probably the best steak I’ve eaten. Alice had a pork chop with some amazing potato treat. The wine was amazing, as was the organic elderflower juice. The white chocolate and pecan cheesecake worked too.

Sunday morning. Breakfast here (The Breakfast Club Soho – D’Arblay Street)

I ate this

The locals

Thursday’s walk home all got a bit fresh. Stepping to the wrong corner always does.
