[Ad- gifted experience] I am known to go to a bunch of plays, but have never actually been to the Charing Cross Theatre. This is one of the smaller, London theatres, that packs a big punch in terms of stage presence despite being a smaller sized room. The seating is arranged well, the bar is well stocked, and it felt like a great place to view a stage. Myself and my friend Sophie went along to see Franz and Marie – an intense musical – at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Now, I am not a huge thin pancake fan, as an American I tend to go for more fluffy ones. But, My Old Dutch Pancake House has these massive, crepe-like pancakes that can come with a ton of different toppings! When hanging out with a friend of mine in London, we decided to try it out. The inside of My Old Dutch Pancake House does look like someplace that would be very Instagramable, with fake flowers hanging from the ceiling and neon signs.
I have previously had mango sticky rice at Imm-Aroy when they were located in Chinatown, but now they’ve moved to a new spot where they have a sit-down menu! This was very excited, so when my friend was next in town, we decided to go over to Imm-Aroy and see if the food was good.

The beef was pull a part tender and the meatballs were dense, like you get with Thai meatballs.

This is a pickle-focused food festival that took place in Hackney, where there were tons and tons of pickle related items. I am talking pickles, kimchi, pickle-like items, sauces, and a lot of things that go well with pickles, if that makes sense.
[Ad- gifted experience] Twelfth Night at Drayton Arms Theatre was such a lovely rendition of a Shakespeare classic. This is a theatre we have never been before, which was above a pub. It’s one of those smaller, cozy theatres without assign seating, where you feel like you blend into the play itself. Dann and I sat in the front row, which is more important later.
