Tequila with a Gran View (Qype does London)

Tequila with a Gran View

Qype does London

At Paramount, I was in equal measure blown away by Patrón’s range of tequilas and by the stunning view of London. The staff was kind enough to let me take a few snapshots (I think photography is usually prohibited). Aptly named, Centre Point (just above Tottenham Court Road Tube Station) offers a panorama unlike any other in London. More than the tasty drinks and awesome sights, the best part of the lunch was simply getting to sit and chat with Francisco for much my time. What a gracious guy! His knowledge of tequila (but ability to talk about pretty much anything) made for a most enjoyable conversation. The Gran Patrón Burdeos was, indeed, among the most satisfying drinks to ever touch my lips.

Hope for a Chugger-Free London!

I really don't like the litany of street canvassers clogging up London's already crowded pavements. And, I know from a (very) brief stint as a "chugger" in my early twenties that, despite the fact that most of the folks out on the streets have big hearts and good intentions, there's a lot of bullshit involved. Anyway, here's a reassuring report from the BBC about a new Intelligent Giving study confirming that chuggers are indeed an "inefficient way of giving and they give charities a bad name and they harass people and put them out - and we think that's behaviour that charities shouldn't be indulging in."

Call for street canvasser boycott
Charity street fundraisers should be avoided by people looking to make donations, a watchdog has warned.

We reached a pretty solid conclusion: never give to street fundraisers," the report concluded.
"Instead, find out which charity you really like, and give via its website."

Qype Halloween Ghost Walk (Qype does London)

Qype Halloween Ghost Walk

Qype does London
October 24th 2008










As an American expat (who’s usually quite content living in London), I kinda feel as though I miss out on Halloween here in the UK. Growing up in the States, Halloween was always the most awesomest time of the year. In fact, Halloween is still right up there with Christmas for me. I love scary movies, fancy dress, ghost stories … the whole Halloween aesthetic. Even though folks here don’t get nearly as into the Halloween spirit as they do in the US, a nocturnal roam through shadowy Southwark is brilliant way to achieve a maximum dose Halloween creep-out! Last night’s ghost walk really set a proper Halloween-y tone. Thanks Qype!
