 |  | If you’re looking for somewhere warm to escape to after work tonight, how about grabbing a last minute table at J. Sheekey for their chef series? If you’re waiting for the cold weather to blow over and anticipating the sun, you might want to pick up a pair of the new Off White x Air Jordan 1, dropping on Saturday. Or, look ahead to spring openings. We just got news that Fare Bar and Canteen – a new spot from Sager & Wilde – is coming to Clerkenwell in March, and there’s more below. P.S. We’ve been making our way around for long overdue visits to restaurants, and Bar Douro comes highly recommended.

Where do you go to celebrate?
Matt: The Laughing Heart in Hackney because they have a fantastic wine list and it’s open after hours (perfect when you work in hospitality).
Which chef should we be watching right now?
