Thanksgiving at Le Café Anglais
Impress transatlantic buddies with some opulent Thanksgiving dining at Le Café Anglais – we can’t get enough of the art deco lighting and sweeping curved banquettes. Top chef Rowley Leigh oversees a mouth-watering menu of Bibb lettuce salad, shrimp cocktail and pumpkin pie and of course the time-honoured roast turkey (although there is a halibut alternative). A bluegrass band and Tammy Wynette and Skeeter Davis numbers from singer-songwriter Becky Hollweg complete the golden age of ocean-liner travel vibe.
Bookings from 6.30pm, £45 for three courses Le Café Anglais, 8 Porchester Gardens, W2 4DB |

SHOP
Dazed & Confused Curate Semi-Automatic
We never squeal, but well, maybe just this once. The Morgans Semi-Automatic 32-slot vending machine (first launched at Art Basel Miami Beach 2008) in St Martins Lane lobby with designer and luxury one-off items selected by Dazed & Confused was bound to get us in a tizz. Join us in drooling over the Ally Capellino iPhone leather purse, an exclusive Lou Dalton mohair scarf, David Hand hand-painted t-shirts, Moo Piyasombatkul sunglasses and AnOther’s fresh magazine ink scented candle (spicy pink pepper and ginger blended with Texan cedarwood oil) and more. So much more.
Until Jan 10, St Martins Lane, 45 St Martins Lane, WC2N 4HX |
