Back in June, Londonist had a lot of fun pairing sushi with sake at Tsuru, Canvey Street’s excellent little Japanese restaurant and bar that’s a hop, skip and look-both-ways-before-crossing-the-street from the Tate Modern. Well, odds are we’re gonna head back in September for what looks to be an intriguing evening of wine and Japanese food matching on the 17th. Damian Tillson, from Sotheby’s Wine Department, will be on hand to guide folks through six......

Sherry. It’s not just for Nan at Christmas. It’s for anybody hankering some fine wine to go with the right tasty morsels. Today, tomorrow and Friday offer a superb opportunity to sample a few of Jerez’s best (thanks to the Sherry Institute of Spain) along with yummy tapas (inspired by Fat Duck owner, Heston Blumenthal) at the Jerez Discovery Bar at Bishops Square near Spitalfields Market. If you’ve ever wondered which sherry goes best......

Despite the fact that Londonist’s favourite London tapas bar - Laxeiro - wasn’t vending, Tapas Fantasticas at the Old Truman Brewery presented a delicious opportunity to sample some of the best tapas in London as well as some especially gorgeous tapas from the Rioja region of Spain.

It arrived just in time for this past sunny weekend, resulting in a couple of brilliant picnics as well as a few notably yummy nibble sessions. In fact, there were so many goodies in the box that some morsels are still left to sift through. Among the contents of your package, the artisan-made chorizo was especially appreciated and was a superb......

Just as London spring begins to break beautifully over the city, the Flamenco Festival is charging into Sadlers Wells to make us all long for the heat and sultriness of a Spanish summer. The fiesta spans the spectrum of the dance form from the Farruquito family presenting traditional gypsy flamenco to one woman and one man pushing flamenco into the 21st Century. There's a showcase homage to the great women of Flamenco, tributes to......

Londonist likes lists. In fact, without lists, we’d have trouble even remembering to put the Londonist rubbish out at night, or to pay the Londonist milkman. Lists of fave ‘this’ and best-selling ‘that’s are quite amusing, and of course are to be expected at the end of one year or the start of another.
