Feels great to be hearing about ‘weeks’ again – Fashion Week, Frieze… the good ones at least. It’s also been great to see several festivals and club nights go ahead these last few weekends, here’s hoping! To us, September always feels like the new year, and this year we’re especially ready for one. So happy Sept all! Let’s make it a great one.

 | |  | | | The Sea, The Sea | | Go Fish | | It's raining seafood | | | There’s a lot of seafood coming through! The Seafood Bar (now on soft launch), is a transfer from Amsterdam, bringing two floors of seafood towers, oyster parties, and marble. In Haggerston, The Sea, The Sea, the second venue from a much-loved Chelsea spot, is a chef’s fishmonger, restaurant and wine bar, with a standout, sultry 12-person chef’s table. And also east, we already love the menu at Bar Flounder, which includes crab hash browns, a lobster egg and cheese breakfast muffin, salmon tartare with truffle Torres crisps, and turbot tenders with buffalo hot sauce.

|  | |  | | | Lounging Around | | Mr Lyan + BA | | | We love seeing good things happen to great people, and Ryan Chetiyawardana, aka Mr Lyan, going into the BA Concorde Lounges in JFK and Heathrow T5 with bespoke menus and two signature serves, seems like a great match.

| | |  | | | The Republic of Beer | | Sept 8 and 9 | | Sponsored listing | | | They say Czechs think of their homeland as ’The Republic of Beer’ as they are so passionate about brewing. Now, we all know that beer doesn’t grow on trees, but this weekend, Budvar will grow on trees at their two day pop up in the city. Head down to Observation Point SE1, where you’ll step into the Republic of Beer and be given a ‘passport’ before you pick your own, chilled, slow-aged (free) Czech lager off the Budvar Beer Tree (it’s a thing!); then sit back and pretend you’re on holiday. A stamp in your passport is also good for a Budweiser Budvar at a nearby participating bar.

|  | | | Post Rona Movement | | Updates | | | So Rita’s has opened the terrace at their Lexington location and the menu, which includes things like vegan fried eggplant panino, fried chicken burgers, cubanos on turmeric bread, toasted corn and cheddar beignets, and courgette quesadillas, has us racing to get in. They’re also getting ready for Frieze, and their Clerkenwell bodega is open Tues- Friday (11-4, kitchen closes at 3). The Ledbury is coming back in a more casual guise, and JOY has moved its cactus disco to Marylebone (for now); they also have a short menu available daily from 12-7.

|  | |  | | | Bellini Travel | | Italy with Succession | | | Need help planning a trip to Italy? Then it’s Emily from Bellini Travel that you need on speed dial. And it seems we Londoners aren’t the only ones who know this as she’s just spent the summer with the cast of Succession, shooting Season 3. Move over Stanley Tucci… think we have a new show with a great Italian backdrop incoming.

|  | |  | | | Café Bao | | Take Two | | Innovative dishes | | | We’re always up for Asian cuisine, so Super-Ya Ramen’s noodle ice cream with miso caramel at their new Kingsland Road location, and Café Bao’s new breakfasts in King’s Cross, including sausage hashbrown baos, and Dan Bing pancakes, sound like a must try.
