Review of Bar 43

Posh Nosh 
When Fresh'n'Wild opened on Stoke Newington Church Street they sealed the deal on the vibrant Hackney thouroghfare's claim to be the next Upper Street. Attracting scores of Guardian-reading yummy mummies, Fresh'n'Wild is a supermarket that panders to the grown up hippy in all of us. Everything in the store is expensive - but most of the stock is Organic, fresh, guilt-free and good for the planet. The cafe section is good (excellent Muffins), but the only seating is outside so is best avoided in the Winter.

Review of Snappy Snaps

Snappy Snaps 
This a great little branch of the Snappy Snaps phot developing chain. Its hidden away in a tiny unit in historic Leadenhall Market, just off Lime Street in the heart of the City. The quality of prints that the staff churn out is consistently higher than most other high street developers and they have no problem in adapting to white borders, black and white prints or printing from old negatives. They also have good deals on bulk processing of digital images.

Review of Euphorium Bakery

Bready or not here I come... 
This tiny branch of the Islington-based bakers (2 stores, the other is on Chapel Market) produces some of the best bread I've ever tasted! Cracking croissants, fantastic French sticks and brilliant brioche. Well worth a visit early in the morning when the bread is fresh out of the oven.

Review of The Bombay Bicycle Club

Freewheelin' Curries
If all bicycle clubs were like this I might be tempted to buy a bike. Delicious modern curries, cracking poppadoms and all the usual glorious flavours of the sub-continent sit cheek-by-jowl with oh-so-21st century graphic design, web ordering and heat-retaining packaging. Truly a takeaway for the Monocle magazine generation. Swaad!
