If you're anything like Londonist, you're saving up to go on holiday somewhere sunny (well let's face it, it's not going to happen here any time soon). So, like us, you'll be watching the pennies this week. This means we can't go and see David Suchet at Theatre Royal Haymarket, or go and watch the new Simpsons Movie. We're very annoyed about this, so we've found some exciting free stuff to do instead: Monday:...

Londonist doesn't like to blow it's own trumpet, but by golly we throw a darn good pub quiz. No less than 11 teams (comprising 62.5 people) were pitted against each other in a battle of London knowledge that could, frankly, have rivalled Going for Gold. Maybe even the Krypton Factor.

The dog ate it. The best excuse ever. In this case, however, the cheesy whole truth. Fitz is a dog that stops at nothing for his nosh. Owner Adam Curtis, Assistant Manager at Richmond Park, should have known better than to leave his hungry hound in snuffling distance of a 1.5kg Duddleswell sheep’s cheese destined for Sir David’s buffet plate at the Thames Landscape Strategy’s Summer Event. The German shorthaired pointer is known to...
The binding properties of bacon grease have never been better emphasised than in Mem Morrison's Leftovers. This performance is about cafes, performed in cafes, with cafe food for everybody. It is intimate, cosy; a cooked breakfast at 6pm, sitting elbow to elbow, bound together by sausage, bacon, eggs and beans. Leftovers is Morrison's autobiographical performance about growing up in a Muslim, Turkish Cypriot family running the Sunderland Cafe in South East London. It's a...

We like helping you pick what's for lunch. We like sharing with you what we know is going on in the world of drinking, dining, cooking and food shopping in London. But, though we try, we cannot know it all and we trust you to know your onions, know what you like and know where to get it. That element of trust has been developed, nurtured and turned into something quite special by our friends...

- The London Review of Breakfasts checks out the Breakfast Club in Islington, and they are impressed with the Full English (plus some) that they get for 7 quid, even though it's the tiniest bit burnt.
- Russell Davies of the very aptly named eggbaconchipsandbeans laments the end of that very classic cafe, the New Piccadilly. Be sure to check out his Flickr group for photos of the New Piccadilly through the ages.
- One of the Dos Hermanos hits up the newly opened La Petite Maison in Mayfair along with a friend, and he has some very nice things to say about the food and the service, despite waiting an hour for chicken.
- This particular Londonist writer enjoys a lovely meal at Islington's Almeida, but decides to wash that grey right out of her hair as soon as humanly possible.
