This weekend we’ve got the eating and partying ratio down pat. Friday starts with some chicken and eggs, followed by a Mixmag party at Village Underground. Saturday, we’re giving Notting Hill’s newest restaurant a go followed by some serious Voguing. And Sunday, we relax and take in an exhibition followed by a leisurely meal in Islington.

SATURDAY |

|
|
| |
EAT:
Casa Cruz |
|
PARTY:
House OF Trax W/ Mikeq |
| |
| The double storey Casa Cruz London follows the sophisticated ‘clubby’ vibe of its well-heeled South American counterpart: think copper and wood paneling throughout and a sleek centre bar. Menu and cocktail wise, expect European with Argentine influences – and we don’t just mean Argentinean steaks and caipiroskas (although, yes, they are on the menu, too). |
|
Voguers, tweakers, dancers, hit the dancefloor. MikeQ, the leading producer and DJ of the ballroom/vogue-house scene, is back with his Qween Beat label and its steady stream of vogue and ballroom tracks and remixes. Practice your pose and get in the mood here. |

SEE:
Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal |
|
EAT:
Oldroyd |
| |
| Fash folk, take a day trip to Barnard Castle to check out the heavyweight fashion exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal. The first exhibition in the UK to present a comprehensive display of the French fashion designer’s work and life includes some of the most recognisable pieces ever created: from Le Smoking to the Mondrian dresses. |
|
Now back to London to try ex Polpo-chef Tom Oldroyd’s new restaurant. Keep it casual and stay downstairs in the café-like setup or go upstairs to the bistro for the small European plates: think smoked pork belly and pea croquetas, grilled pork rib-eye with borlotti beans and hazelnut pistou and crab tagliarini. Cocktails are by Ryan Chetiyawardana and his team at the White Lyan bar and we hear the negroni is a must. |
