Behold, a UJ street-skate-style-special with a Fabric party tonight, street food (pizzas AND burgers) on Friday, vogueing along to house ballroom on Saturday, two new skate shops and a decidedly urban exhibition on Sunday. That failing, perhaps a last minute Miami break or a Vogue Festival will appeal. Or the fact that Marni for H&M launches today and The Souls of Mischief head the Jazz Café on Sunday. Lastly, if you’ve time to spare, check out the street style graphics in De La Soul’s new one and in Chiddy Bang’s video (at 1:54). Skate on!

FRIDAY |

EAT:
Pizza Pilgrims |
|
EVENT:
Patty & Bun |
|
If you’re bored of your usual Pret sandwich, nip along to Berwick Street Market where the Elliot brothers will be serving up freshly cooked Neapolitan style pizzas from the back of their little green van. As it’s round the corner from UJHQ, we’ll be the first in line - especially as they’re creating our very own UJ spicy Friday pizza (quote UJ for special price). See you there! |
|
The boys from Street Kitchen have joined forces with the Doodle Bar to host a series of special burger nights with Patty & Bun’s Joe. Expect fun combos (home smoked salmon on brioche with horseradish dressing) and classics (Jose Jose chilli burger, sweet potato fries), with beer and cocktails. Burger fever ain’t going nowhere.

Welcome to Miami |
|
|
|
If you, like us, are toying with the idea of a last minute trip to the Winter Music Conference, then perhaps we can tempt you a little further. Delano South Beach has undergone a refurb which includes new Italian restaurant Bianca, an iPad concierge service and a subterranean poolside lounge. We say get a bungalow, bag a spot by the pool and order the mini tacos.

Acyde, DJ and one-time co-host of Sunday night’s Trading Places, has pulled a Kanye on us and gone from behind the scenes to making his own music. Recently signed by the Young Turks, Acyde now makes up one half of The Shining — the other half is producer Morgan Zarate of Spacek and Hyperdub. Good luck guys!

Carhartt has returned (finally) to East London after a launch party which packed out Shoreditch High Street. Expect reclaimed wood, limited edition (in-store only) garms and check out Shohei Otomo’s wall prints.
|
|
Dalston Superstore holds the next of their Paris Acid Ball nights, where you can expect the usual polysexual vogueing to 90s NYC house from the likes of Hannah Holland, DJ Squeaky and Dan Beaumont. Big 90s labels and bling are a no brainer.

SHOP CENTRAL:
Vans X Slam City Skates |
|
ART:
Gilbert & George
London Pictures |
|
More skate brands? Oh, go on then. UJ fave Vans are setting up shop in the basement of Slam City Skates. Get your hands on their current line and see ex-skateboarding filmmaker Greg Hunt’s ‘Selective Memory’ photography exhibition which looks at 16 years in the biz. Just call it a skating monopoly.
|
|
Gilbert and George, the controversial duo who have done more than their fair share for shock tactic art, are back with their new instalment London Pictures at the White Cube (in Hoxton Square, Mason’s Yard, Bermondsey and Hong Kong). After stealing newspaper posters for 10 years, they’ve created an exhibition of urban London through headlines: tube strikes, gang culture, robbery and the state of schools (bit heavy for a Sunday, we know).
