What to Do This Weekend
Need some inspiration for how to
spend this weekend? From a guide to being a tourist in your own
city to the best theatre listings, a jazz festival to
the best spring walks, we've rounded up the 6 best ways to
spend your weekend in London and the UK beyond.
Plus, here's something that
doesn't require a particular location: have a listen to our
interiors podcast House Guest. This
week's guest: Natalia Miyar.

suggestions? Had a blast? Tell us about it by tagging us on Instagram and Facebook!

If
you've fallen out of love with London recently, allow yourself to
fall hopelessly back in love with the city by being an 'insider
tourist'. The weather's drying up and getting warmer - spring has
sprung, after all - so make the most of it by exploring all the
historic landmarks that London has to offer, and stop along the way
at one of the cosiest cafes and bars in town.

Finger Frame
Fergus
McCaffrey is pleased to present an exhibition of Kazuo Shiraga’s paintings
from the 1980s and ’90s.
Kazuo Shiraga
emerged as one of the most prominent members of the avantgarde group Gutai
with his innovative foot painting practice, begun in 1954, in which the
artist used his feet to paint powerful and energetic abstract forms. He would
set a canvas on the floor of his studio and, suspending his body from a rope
hung from the ceiling, push and kick oil paint applied in dynamic strokes
over the canvas’ surface.

Pair 🧀 Drink🍷
If
we told you there was an enormous cheese production facility located in the
heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron District, would you even believe us? Well,
there absolutely is!
And now, thanks to
Beecher’s Handmade Cheese starting on Monday, April 8th, 15th & 22nd at 7
PM, you can pair five of their deliciously domestic, artisanal cheeses with
five ultra unique wines while overlooking their super-impressive cheese
factory -- all going down in a super intimate loft perched above the corner
of East 20th Street and Broadway!

Short Story Selection
Since
writing was invented, mankind has written down everything from important
information to fantastical fiction, theories, and to-do lists.
But what has
happened to all of the stories throughout history, the ones that we have no
proof of or ones we have never even heard of?
The Collectors
take them, hoarding them in their library, watched over by the Librarian.
Though, no one but the rats ever come in. Until one day, a boy named Thomas
with a critical secret turns up.
|
|
🍕🍳🥂
So
how about rolling up your sleeves and learning how to make a brunch or
Neapolitan pie from scratch-- practically however your lil’ heart desires--
and then devouring your very own creation after it's tossed in the oven?!
All the while, you
sip on bottomless mimosas, Bellinis, or Prosecco and get served amazing
appetizers like disco fries, fresh focaccia bread, and even truffle cheese
rice balls. Oh, and to top it all off, what better way to finish off your
brunch than with a Nutella-infused or tiramisu dessert? (We know. We had you
at dessert. SAME.)

Finger Frame
Born
in Amagasaki, Japan, in 1924, Shiraga cofounded the Zero Society (Zero-kai)
with Saburō Murakami and Akira Kanayama in 1952.
In 1955, he joined
the legendary collective Gutai (Gutai Art Association) and made a series of
revolutionary works that the art historian Reiko Tomii calls “performance
paintings,” including Challenging Mud (1955), in which he wrestled with
several tons of mud, and Red Logs (1955), a structure made of wood logs that
Shiraga hacked into with an ax. His distinct and inimitable style of foot
painting emerged the year before, in 1954.

Pair 🧀 Drink🍷
Instead
of being told which cheeses to pair with what wines and when you'll be able
to do the pairing yourself. That's right, you're in control of creating an
absolutely heavenly combination of wines and cheeses, for your very own
palate and taste. No judgments.
Whether you’re a
die-hard wine-and-cheese fan or just want to treat yourself after another
long day at work, you will be taught how to pair artisan cheeses with the
perfect counterparts, while still eating and drinking which wines and cheeses
you want when.

New York Faces
Jordan's
entrepreneurial spirit started young, native to Guilderland, New York (a
suburb of Albany) past entrepreneurial endeavors included a used “bookstore”
at the top of her driveway during grade school. Her primary customers being

ordinances, breaks marked by an opened umbrella over her store.

Short Story Selection
Winner
of the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Short Story, John Chu’s story is full of both
magic and science fiction. Instead of rain, in this world water falls on you
whenever you tell a lie. Seems like it would only make life difficult for
those trying to get away with things right?
However, for our
main character Matt, this world presents a real problem for him. His lover
questions him on the idea of marriage while he still hasn’t found a way to
“come out” to his not-so-forward-thinking parents. An interesting tale on the
human psyche, this story truly makes the reader think.
