BaggerMcGuirk Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 If y'all are serious then we're down as well. Right now we got reservations for 2 on April 6(evening), but I'm sure we could just as easily do a larger thing. Figure I should socialize more.

beerwolf Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Did a great walking pub crawl (local boozers not tourist hubs) last year from Tufnell Park, into Kentish Town, then into the outskirts of Camden, then a short tube hop and finished at a few boozers in Hampstead Heath. Brilliant day out. Booze! Booze! Booze! I love it lol.

Wondering if anyone has any updated recommendations for record shops, stuff to see and food/drink. So far I've found that there's the I Love Acid 10 year party with Ceephax, and we maybe found a hotel. Anything especially cool happening April 5-10? I like Phonica Records in Soho. Some here complain it's too hip, but they have a nice selection of vinyls and CDs. There's a good sushi place next door as well.

I'm gonna drill down from here. I'm apparently supposed to try Indian food as well. If you've got a favorite(that isn't on that list), I'd love to hear it. Shame about the sushi place. We have some good ones in SF at least.

hello spiral Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 If you want decent and decently priced sushi that's near all those record shops in soho go to Kulu Kulu. There's one in Soho though I prefer the Covent Garden one, which is still 5-10min walk away. If you want really fucking GOOD sushi go to Bar Atari-Ya in Ealing Common or Sushi Say in Willesden Green. They both may be a little out of your way though. Coincidently, where Yo! Sushi was there's now some large Indian street food cafe type place iirc, which looks interesting.

tec Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Same, I don't really miss it either. Last time I was back I went to one of the hip new places around elephant and castle and paid 7 quid for a bit of burnt dough with garlic on top, ate it on a wooden park bench in a metal warehouse. You can tell I am the wrong side of 30.
