February – we're here! Finally. Except why does it still feel like the end of January? That said, we're not going too OTT this weekend (instead we're looking forward to Ibiza...). Immersive theatre sets us up nicely for a new Clubland residency, we're enjoying two rooftop views (though neither are from The Shard) and on Sunday we'll be maxing out at a new design exhibition before settling down in front of the NFL. Let's go Ravens. This Weekend’s Picks • FRI The Rooftop Cafe • SAT In the Beginning was the End • SUN Extraordinary Stories About Ordinary Things CALENDAR PICK Marfa Girl From Larry Clark, the squirm-in-your-seat director of Kids and Bully, comes Marfa Girl, about the young, artistic community of the Texan town. As you would expect from the cult film director, it's not straightforward viewing – he decided not to show the film in any conventional cinemas, instead choosing to stream it for a day back in November. Lucky for us it's showing exclusively (with free entry) at The Book Club this month. Click here for more info and for more Art & Culture events MIX Dax Feel good electro may be the only thing to get us out of this grey slump: tune into Dax's exclusive mix for UJ for a little aural cheer. Dax will also be DJing at The Green Room at The Box this Saturday, bringing a little of his own Ibizan charm to Soho. For guestlist please email booking@daxibiza.com. If you miss this then head to his party next week Friday at Supperclub. Play FRIDAY LUNCH: THE ROOFTOP CAFE PARTY: DEVIATION AT XOYO If you missed out on tickets up The Shard then no worries – there's a quieter rooftop bolthole just around the corner. The Rooftop Cafe had a quiet opening earlier this month despite stellar credentials: chef Magnus Reid is ex-St John and wine is headed up by Alex Whyte of Brawn. Lunch is seasonal, sustainable and simple with a European twang – polenta, fried eggs and Serrano, pink firs and chicken liver, Onglet with avocado salsa – while breakfast's central focus is eggs done any way. From this week they will be open for dinner on Thursdays and Fridays. The Deviation crew has always believed that club nights should run in five-year cycles. So, after a momentous 5th birthday back in October, they decided it was time for a change. Now, they'll be shaking things up at XOYO on Friday nights with their brand of big party, loyal crowds and future-thinking artists. For the inaugural session, wunderkind Benji B and friends will takeover. 8am-10.30pm Mains from £9 The Exchange, 28 London Bridge Street, SE1 9SG 9pm-3am £12.50 32-37 Cowper Street, EC2A 4AP BOOK PICK #1 A must for the kitchen collection. Salt Yard: Food & Wine from Spain & Italy features just that: an edit of 100 of chef Ben Tish's recipes from across the restaurant group (Dehesa, Opera Tavern and Salt Yard). We'll be starting with the truffled macaroni. Salt Yard: Food & Wine from Spain & Italy, £30 Book pick #2 Ibizan architecture and design firm Blakstad has just launched its hardback tome Ibiza Blakstad Houses.

Ibiza Blakstad Houses, £30 Available from the AA Bookshop, Architectural Association School of Architecture, 32 Bedford Square, WC1B 3ES BOOK PICK #3 Street food sensation The Bowler has been satiating Londoners with his brand of hip meatball (think pork and fennel, pheasant and bacon, wasabi salmon and sesame seeds). Now, he's put it all in a book for you to do at home. We predict a restaurant soon. The Bowler's Meatball Cookbook: Ballsy Food. Ballsy Flavours, £16.99 Out on Monday SATURDAY THEATRE: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE END PARTY: UPPER WEST The next instalment from immersive theatre company dreamthinkspeak will take place in the unused, maze-like, underground passage between Somerset House and King's College. Based on Leonardo Da Vinci's A Cloudburst of Material Possessions, The Book of Revelation and the degeneration of our society (gulp), expect a series of journeys through bizarre scenes fusing hydraulics, mechanical engineering, film and live performance. If you thought Fuerzabruta was avant-garde… Go West via NYC (of course)! Upper West is the latest "NY-inspired" club opening its doors to the West London crowd this weekend. Hang out in the lounge with cocktails, "NY-inspired" street food, artwork (provided by Notting Hill's West Bank gallery) and live music – they have Elton John's old piano. Otherwise, enjoy the skyline and hand-rolled cigars on the "NY-inspired" rooftop garden. Everyone else will be in the (NY-inspired…) nightclub 'Madisons', pumping to house and techno. Timed entry slots from 6.30pm From £19.50 Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA Lounge 6.30pm-2am, Madisons 10pm-3am Entry £20.00 107 King's Road, SW3 4PA BOOK NOW QUO VADIS WINE CLUB The QV spring clean has come early.

'Extraordinary' is a collection of key designs that have shaped the modern world. Six key stories will take you through 100s of items including everything and anything from road signage and the red phone box to a Dyson vacuum, Apple iMac and recycled dress by Issey Miyake. The show will be transferred to the new Design Museum site on High Street Ken, which opens in 2015. Settle down for an all night NFL fest. Although Skyloft, Koko and The Diner Soho all have special events on, we say stay on the sofa. Bring in the Bud, the snacks and the foam fingers, and tune in to BBC2 at 11.30pm GMT for the kick off between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Plus, half time "entertainment" comes from Beyoncé. We're not saying anything… (Janet Jackson and MIA). 10am-5.45pm £11 Design Museum, 28 Shad Thames, SE1 2YD Kick off 11.30pm-2am BBC2 FOLLOW US!

LAST CALL IMS Yes, we know it's early, but Monday is the last chance you can book early bird Delegate badges for Ibiza's International Music Summit. See ya there. IMS Early Bird Delegate Badge, available until Monday February 4, €320 , IMS, May 22 – 24, Gran Hotel, Ibiza Reserved Clockjack Oven – Finger lickin' good 14 Denman Street, W1D 7HJ @ClockjackOven | 020 7287 5111 Location Denman Street, on the edge of Soho by Piccadilly. There are no other hip chicken shacks in the vicinity, but there is a Nando's around the corner. Vibe Casual and noisy, but comparatively calm after their launch weekend. It's all about democratic eating here – there were big groups, small groups, loners, hoodies, suits and Soho types. Hands are encouraged, paper menus are used as an add-on to plates and food comes out as and when you want it. Names of dishes are an ironic nod to Colonel Sanders, but a world apart as the birds are sourced from Janzé in Brittany. Flavours Despite having only one main ingredient, the flavours aren't monotonous. We started with Crispy Chicken Bites, golden nuggets of buttermilk drenched popcorn chicken which came with house sauces (ranch, tangy BBQ, chilli and Caesar). You can also get them in a bun. Then came the CLT Torpedo, shredded rotisserie chicken, lettuce and tomato in a buttermilk bun, which was juicy, flavoursome and our fave. Then for the main show: pieces of rotisserie roasted chicken available in three, four or ten piece servings. The method of cooking – in an open-fire clockjack oven from the Tudor times – made for tender meat with crunchy, salty, moreish skin. Sides are predictable but spot on: slaw, double cooked chips and a deliciously Mediterranean tomato and red onion salad are all musts. Décor Design is simple (wood, hints of red, exposed brick). Benches, high tables and bar seating encourages in-and-out style eating, which we like. Upshot It's hard not to draw comparisons with other fast food-style chicken restaurants of late; after all, this is nothing new. But Clockjack Oven bridges the gap between The Chicken Shop (only rotisserie) and Wishbone (only fried) well. A one-ingredient show, but a good one.
