Why Don't You... Try Some Thai?

Yesterday I finally had the pleasure of trying Rosas restaurant on Hanbury street, after quite a few failed attempts... and let me tell you, the wait was worth it! While the menu may not be as extensive as other typical Thai restaurants, the dishes that are available are very inexpensive, and absolutely mouthwatering. I got a simple chicken wrap with peanut sauce, and it was so filled with flavor that I devoured the entire dish faster than you can say "I love Thai!" Perfect for a lunchtime break from work or an easy take-away dinner. To find out the location and check out the menu, visit the website: www.rosaslondon.com/

City Escapes

It's always nice to know that when the city life becomes too much, there are places of serenity that can provide a temporary break. When these places are also beneficial to the community as well, they should most certainly be recognised and praised. Hackney City Farm is one of these such places. Hiding among the urban population, the farm boasts eco-friendly practices and is a fantastic place to take children and adults alike. While I find myself especially fond of the pigs, the other animals that roam around the farm are certainly enjoyable as well. There is also a lovely cafe on site, serving wonderfully prepared meals using fresh seasonal ingredients.

'Firsday' Retrospective: June 4th
Sometimes first time's a charm...that goes double for Stella Dore, as it was our first venture to said establishment, and also the first gallery of the evening. We particularly enjoyed the work by E.C. Woodard, whose slightly perverse and macabre illustrations are reminiscent of a twisted amalgamation of Where the Wild Things Are and Alice in Wonderland.

'Firsday' - Art Appreciation
On the first thursday of the month the majority of East London galleries are open late previewing their latest exhibits.
With 80+ galleries participating across East London it can be
hard to hit them all, each first Thursday we meander along
Charlotte Road, down Rivington Street and over to Redchurch
Street to see our favourite galleries current exhibitions.
Beyond the art, the eccentrically stylish crowd in attendance
provide an additional spectacle.
One of the prime cultural and social events of the month and
certainly the best Thursday in town.
6-9pm [Be on time for free wine (and beer)], 4th June - East London galleries and museums.
