Disclaimer (if you didn’t already know) New York is a dope city! There’s so much to do, interesting people to meet, places to visit and most importantly places to eat! Having spent the summer there, we thought we'd put together foodie guide including some of our favourite places to help navigate your taste buds through the concrete jungle! It's a fast paced, forever changing and innovating city so whilst this list is inclusive of some of our favourites, we have previously shared others in our other posts.

Bottoms Up! Bottomless Brunch - NY

120 Essex St
New York, NY

One of the main reasons that I am totally obsessed with this city (New York) is because of all the free-spirited, highly talented creatives racing through the streets all hours of the day and night. Meaning you have the potential to bump into literally anyone, anywhere.

Soho Kitchen and Bar
19-21 Old Compton Street
London
W1D 5JJ

Now that Jamelia's in NYC, my foodie dates have become awfully lonely but a good meal in and of itself is always great company (no shade Jam). This week however, I headed to a spot in one of London’s most thriving and diverse situations, Soho. Soho Kitchen and Bar, located along the iconic Old Compton Street, this Soho House owned buzzing restaurant is an ideal spot for after work. Tonight’s date alongside dinner, is mi Madre.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

We cannot believe it has been a whole year since we started sharing our dining experiences with you, in order to save you the hassle of finding great places to dine in the capital. We’ve also used it as another creative outlet for ourselves, and a time to further develop our sisterly bond… any excuse to eat out really!

Elusive Exclusive

Lobster Kitchen
111 Great Russell Street
WC1B 3NQ

This week I really fancied lobster, and lobster specifically. Not seafood – lobster! The obvious choice is Burger and Lobster, one of the only places in London you can pay £20 for a full lobster but going against the norm is always fun right? 

Every'ting' Irie!

16 The High Street,
Ealing
W5 5DB

So it's a Saturday, time for a bi-monthly catch up with some girlfriends. The weather outside is cold, miserable and on an empty stomach I too was feeling the exact same way.

Stuck on where to eat, being the foodie of the group I suggested we try out Turtle Bay following a recommendation from Alex of All4Thoughts.  

Ask Me Again in 10 Years

Yauatcha
(You probably know the address by now)

So we are back again!

With food produce changing, the authenticity of ingredients evolving and methods of dining revolving left right and centre, it is an incredible achievement for any business to stay relevant, current and of a high quality in this day and age. Yauatcha proudly celebrated their 10 year anniversary recently and they were gracious enough to invite the extended WOM family to the party! 

Old Favourites, New Discoveries

Satay Bar
447 Coldharbour Lane
Brixton,
London

This week the schedule was jam packed with seminars attended by Candace and Contributing Editor at TheSubstanceHQ, sports enthusiast and all around creative, Michael. The dynamic duo took their hunger out of the City and into the rural crux of London, Brixton. 

The New York Post

If you are reading this from The Big Apple, or alternatively you are preparing for your visit, the likelihood is that you are stretched for time. For this reason we are going to keep the list short of places you must must must visit, and those you can afford to bypass...

Brunch
The all-american "Brunch". 

The day after you land due to the time difference (5hours behind London) you can expect to wake up at around 7/8am latest. Once you do, it is time get up and get out! 

Catch Ups and Cocktails in The City...

Boundary
2-4 Boundary Street
London
E2 7DD

So for this post we thought we would switch it up a bit… Let us know what you think….

To enjoy the beautiful weather Jamelia took the time to catch up with two very talented ladies and the restaurant was just too good to keep to themselves...

So peek what Jamelia, Abena AND Vanessa had to say about 'Boundary Rooftop'.

Embrace Your Sweet Tooth

Potty Pancakes & Burger Bar
2 Barnet Road
Herts
EN6 2QS
01707 652 555

A sweet ending to a meal is most certainly something we always look forward to but after we realised that life is short, we started having dessert first!

As you may be able to tell, WordOfMouthLDN are unashamed and self proclaimed dessert fanatics. Sometimes we feel that dessert is just enough, and on this occasion, it was exactly that. This week, we took a trip to Potty Pancakes, a specialist dessert restaurant in the quiet residencies of Barnet.
