Its All About Location

354-356 Green Lanes, Palmers Green,
London N13 5TJ

Like almost every other human being on the globe, I set new New Years resolutions every New Year. Sadly statistics suggest that only 8% of people who set these resolutions actually achieve and stick to them. So to make sure that I am a part of the 8% club year after year, I set my goals a little earlier than most (Oct/Nov) to make sure that I get well into the swing of things ahead of the New Year.

With my love affair with food not coming to an end anytime soon, I decided I really needed to get serious about my fitness, as after all pizza, waffles and cocktails never got anyone tight abs! So I joined the gym in November and have managed to maintain my schedule so much so that has become habitual.

Only problem is, there is a lovely, cost-friendly, service with a smile, Italian restaurant almost next door to the gym. Go figure...

Taste of Turkey

Gokyuzu
26 - 28 Grand Palace
Green Lanes
N4 1LG

Last weekend was kick started with a surprise birthday dinner at one of the many restaurants making up North London's very own 'little Turkey’ (Hornsey Green Lanes) - Gokyuzu.

Green Lanes is full of Mediterranean restaurants that, to the uninformed eye all look the same; therefore once you've tried one, you assume you've tried them all.  Having eaten at another restaurant on this same strip, which was mediocre, it was safe to say that expectations were not particularly high.
