Here are a few things for my followers to consider for this weekend in Leeds, London, Liverpool and New York City:
New
fine dining destination. Plus, WIN a boutique bootcamp workout, tickets to
The Little Mermaid & tickets to The Lion, The Witch & The
Wardrobe...

Leeds is changing fast – and we're not
just talking about all the new restaurants and bars that are opening up
in the city. There are big plans afoot that will change the city's
skyline and help to cement our place as a key player in the Northern
Powerhouse. Find out what's in the pipeline as we round up 15 of the big
developments coming our way (and two that got away).

|
|
|
|
This is a new kind of workout. Step into
TRIB3's dark, club-like studio where you'll do 45 minutes of treadmill,
resistance and intensity training, burning up to 1,000 calories per
session. Now, how would you like to win 50 sessions?
|
|
|
By day they serve up delicious
breakfasts and lunches, but Fettle has a secret alter ego, they've
launched a new supper club that showcases their Scandinavian fusion
cuisine – you've got to try it.
|
|
The Little Bookshop is a first for Leeds
– it's the only independent bookshop dedicated to children and we
love it. The shelves are packed with beautifully illustrated picture
books, classic children's adventures and teen fiction, the cafe
serves up downright delicious food, and don't even get us started on the
events...
|
|
|
This beautiful Victorian pub is back in
action.
|
|
This Christmas, West Yorkshire Playhouse
will take you on a magical adventure to Narnia in a show that
combines spectacular aerial arts, music and dance. Want to see it?
We're giving away tickets to The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe
with dinner at CAU.
|
|
|
How would you like to see The
Little Mermaid told completely through dance? Northern Ballet have
brought Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale to life, in
a heart-wrenching tale of magic, wonder and unrequited love
– win tickets with dinner at V.
|
|
|
|
Leeds is full of secret drinking dens,
but how many have you found? We've rounded them all up in one handy list,
so you can start ticking them all off.

5 Things to Do This Weekend
For the coming Halloween weekend, we've found some great
activities in town and country that won't make your skin crawl –
from a special afternoon tea, to the scariest show in the West
End.
Looking for something a little more child-friendly? We've got
that covered too – just take inspiration from our guide for half
term ideas. Foodies should head to central London for some rather
special pop-ups, while perfume enthusiasts have much to look
forward to with a special workshop at Keyneston Mill that's not
to be missed!

of Parterre perfumes are

To celebrate the launch of the new perfume house, Keyneston

The Exorcist, The Phoenix Theatre
Guaranteed to be the scariest show in the West End, The Exorcist takes to the
stage for the first time at the Phoenix Theatre. They are coining
it a ‘unique theatrical experience’, so we assume there is some
element of audience participation. Until March
|
|
|
Haunted Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle transforms into a
Haunted Castle, spooky treats for all ages – with ‘light-hearted
fun for Scaredy Squires’, ‘hair-raising scares for Daring Dukes’

End of Half
Term Activities

and nationwide diary dates to keep the little ones in good
spirits!
Why not head to Kent’s largest animal park Port Lympne? This weekend,
visitors can partake in activities such as an eerie enrichment
workshop, treat-making for the animals and especially for
Halloween, pumpkin carving sessions too. Get spooked in the
prehistoric Dinosaur Forest and follow the trail through the
millions of years to win a prize. There’s even a creepy carnivore
tour at dusk for the extra brave.

activities in town and country.

scene or just can’t decide between shows, our Theatre
Guide has got you covered. 🎭🎭🎭

judging you.
AND we've also got ya covered, with a not-at-all spooky, however very
exciting lineup of events going down this weekend!
This is some seriously unique stuff, even for New York. We're talkin' pitbull
photography exhibits, and Hennessy paint parties... Read more…

Winter Already?
The

Pastrami Power
Bon
Appétit editor Andrew Knowlton attempts yet another 24-shift, this time at
NYC's very own Katz' Deli!
This place has been around since the late 1800s, so obviously, this guy has a
lot to live up to.
Check out this rather comical footage of Knowlton learning the ropes and
moving up the Katz' hierarchy. Read more…

The Rewind/Unwind
Hey there,
folks! It's been a long week but we'll take it from here.
We're feeling
pretty good about
Prospect Park's car ban. While it may affect some commutes, most of
us see the park as an oasis away from all that city noise and stress.
And if you
haven't heard, Joe
Girardi is out as Yankees' General Manager. His ten-year run
had its ups and downs. See ya, Joe!
Keep your eyes
peeled for tomorrow's much-anticipated Halloween Guide!
Stay
spooky. 👻

Just
one week left in October. Where did the month go?
Were you aware
that TGI Friday's is officially stepping their game up and bringing
Baby Back Ribs🙏😋 to their already stacked menu?
Finally, Ouidad
truly understands how to embrace your (mind of their own) luscious, curly
locks.💆🙌❤️️
These fellas
explored NY with a germ counter to find the grossest
spots in the city. 😷👀🔎 Citi Bike handlebars took
the cake for the dirtiest spot.
Now THIS is the
kind of generosity we need around here *cough cough* take notes NYC *cough*.
This adorable village in Italy🇮🇹 is literally paying
people to move there and now we’re considering it.
|
Baby Backs
Did
you hear that TGI Friday's is trying their hand at the rib game?
Yup, you can now enjoy their signature Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce atop
hunks of chewy, meaty goodness.
This change is part of a larger effort on the chain's part to "elevate
their bar-centric menu" with tons of new items and sides.
Good for you, Friday's! We see you working. Read more…

Scenic Route
A
summer experiment that panned out well is becoming permanent thanks to the
latest edict from Mayor Bill De Blasio!
Starting this January 2nd, both East and West Drives of Prospect Park will be
closed to vehicles—for good!
De Blasio framed his decision as aiming to preserve the park as a “safe,
quiet refuge for Brooklyn’s families”. We're all for keeping one of the city's
greenest spots as friendly and smog-free as possible!
And no need to worry about increased travel times—the impact on them is
projected to be miserable! Read more…

Curly Hair Don't Care
Sponsored by:
Trust
us, these people are no joke. They're the experts when it comes to all your
curly hair needs, and they'll step your hair game up pronto.
Ouidad has been making people look and feel good, helping make curls a
blessing years. Check it out

Eeeeewww
Men's
Health Mag went on a little scavenger hunt around NYC with a handheld "germ
counter" to see just how gross this city is.
The results were—surprise surprise—gross. There's a TON of germs literally
everywhere, but especially Citi Bike handlebars. Like dirty-than-subway-poles
gross
|
Molto Bene
This
is so tempting, it seems way too good to be true.
This beautiful, low-key, and incredibly charming Italian Village is actually
willing to pay people to live there...
We'd really love to see more of that generosity around here wouldn't you
agree?
This is for real, several families have already made the move and a bunch
others are applying. Interested?
