Since the dollar is strong I'm hoping to eat, drink, and shop like a sausage-fingered King. you there for AE? A significant portion of the chatmm crew are flying here next week also. First big chatmm meetup since 2017.

scumtron Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Going over for AE as well. I'm curious if there is still any covid restrictions? Mandatory face masks? Other stuff that's useful to know?

hoggy Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 If you like metal, I recommend having a drink in the Dev in Camden, if you like art and world/arty films, check what's on at the ICA near Trafalgar Square, if you want a fun queer night out I recommend seeing what's at the Bethnal Green WMC or Soho Theatre, if you like experimental electronic music, see what's on at Iklectik, if you want a goth thing, there's Kaos, Monster Queen and Slimelight.. what else, wander round Epping Forest or Hampstead Heath, go to the big museums, they're all free (V&A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, British Museum, TATE modern, TATE britain, National Gallery) And if you like Italian pizza/pasta, La Porchetta in Soho I really like - might be worth going if you go for a look round Leicester Square/Piccadilly (just to see the area) Also for shopping, that market down Brick Lane, where you can also get a good curry and visit the Whitechapel gallery nearby Hackney wick area for graffiti art and warehouse parties, dunno how buzzing it will be now the weather is shittier though o00o 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide hoggy's signature Hide all signatures "Whoa!

hoggy Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Oh and sometimes Ronnie Scott's sometimes has nice jazz gigs (can't say they're all good, you just have to see what's on), it's really nice in there, but you might spend a bit on cocktails - but as was mentioned, for more experimental stuff Cafe OTO is amazing o00o 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide hoggy's signature Hide all signatures "Whoa!
