Coffee with Victoria Cator
I have spent a lot of time with Victoria in recent months. I used to work with Jo Malone and Ormonde Jayne where I became quite obsessed with quality perfume and candles. In recent years, a lot of friends started gifting me candles. I guess it is one of the most neutral gifts. Those gifts started sparking [...]
Dedicated to Burger Heaven
We’re a bit of a nutty family. I was born in 1990 but my older siblings ensured we had watched many movies from well before our times. For instance, The Odd Couple. What I love about the Odd Couple is how it depicts New York and some things have not changed! For instance, traditional diners. [...]
When this is all over…
This lockdown has only taught me one thing. To not take anything for granted and to ensure as soon as we are out of this, do everything I have wanted to do. This involves a lot of coffee, tequila beverages, and food plus soaking up the best hotel atmospheres. I want to revisit every place [...]
Coffee with Eli Zabar
When it comes to experiencing the 'real' New York, there is nothing more authentic than experiencing Eli Zabar's food stores, restaurants, and delis! I passed by Eli's several times during my visits to New York over the years but I didn't really know the extent of the offering until I visited Eli's Market on the [...]

Carol Becker is the President of William Greenberg Desserts. I heard about William Greenberg Desserts through the owner of The Lowell Hotel and Carol is the president of bakery that has several locations across NY and also delivers. William Greenberg is an institution of the Upper East Side and New York in the bakery department! [...]
Coffee with Leading Astrologer, Susan Miller
I met Susan Miller entirely by fate. I was meeting some friends at Fred’s for brunch during a visit and there she was chatting to me whilst I waited for a table at the bar. I had no clue who Susan Miller was back then but our conversation was so meaningful and has been every [...]
Coffee with Lorenzo Antonelli of Sant Ambroeus
I discovered Sant Ambroeus during my first solo (adulthood) visit to New York in 2014. I was recommended by the concierge at the Mark Hotel. I loved everything about it. The understatedness yet quintessential Italian hospitality, the coffee, and ambiance. I met with the Head of Operations, Lorenzo Antonelli, who has worked with the group [...]
Colin Clague of Ruya
Ruya hands down has been one of the most authentic and scenic restaurants I have been to recently in London. The struggle ‘fancy’ restaurants face is that they either miss out on the atmosphere or food – it is very hard to usually find a balance and a location that ticks all boxes. I was pleasantly [...]
A.O.K Kitchen & Bakery
Kelly Landesberg's A.O.K Kitchen has a wonderful ethos and concept behind it which will make it a huge success for people looking to relax in Marylebone without any judgment behind what they choose to have and how much of it! When I met Kelly recently she told me about the concept behind A.O.K and what [...]
