NYC bistro in HK – 798 unit

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

798 unit — This little restaurant tucked away in TST is quite a find…. it’s new york city bistro style, chalk walls, hipster scene and some of the best food we’ve had in Hong Kong. Pop in and say hi to Bridget and Daren. Do NOT miss the short ribs…. incredible.

Best Brunch in Town?

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Wow that Friday night just got out of control didn’t it? We all know a classic fry up does the trick the morning after but why not join the rest of the beautiful people in this ohhhh so New York-y brasserie on Portobello Road. Electric Brasserie? We love it.

Great food, nice people, great times…

Few of the winehands team went out for a bite to eat a few weeks back in London Bridge and came across an absolute gem, say hello to the Garrison. Every pub in the land sells themselves as a “gastro pub” now days but this one is very genuine! Check it out.

free films!

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

winehands likes free stuff. everyone likes free stuff. WH proudly brings you free cinema, courtesy of our pals down at Roxy Bar and Screen.

nestled in buzzing borough in south london, this little gem allows patrons to tuck into a delicious roast, quaff some cheeky beers before settling back into the leather sofas to enjoy a range of classic and contemporary films, which are all screened free of charge. it’s even open on Christmas Day, providing the perfect escape route from that lengthy game of Scrabble with your gran.

winehands went down today to check out the Michael Caine classic, The Italian Job. it’s true what they say, the oldies are the best.

a-maze-ing

Monday, September 11th, 2006

A couple of team winehands have been lucky enough to pop down to Gordon Ramsay’s latest eaterie, Maze, in the last few weeks. Situated on Grosvenor Square in the heart of Mayfair, Maze combines stylish décor with Asian influences over it’s French cuisine.

It remains to be seen whether Gordon will be able to crack the notoriously tough New York market with his latest offering at London NYC. Please let us know your thoughts…

new york, new york

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

So good, they had to name it twice. We love new york down at wh-HQ. It rocks, it really fcuking rocks. So i’ve been there all week on biz, and despite this being the 4th trip in under two years, I just want more. it’s the nuts. A few highlights:

Peter Luger – best steak in new york, full stop, let us know if you’d like to know the text book order (trust us)
Label – Laura Whitcomb is creating some fashion items here that will really make you stand out from the crowd, subtly, of course
Adriano’s Pizza – work downtown, eat upscale, grab a “pizza pie” at this place and you’ll wonder how Pizza Hut ever made a dime
Milk and Honey NY – the sister bar in London is one of our favourites, the one in New York is so cool most locals don’t even believe it exists. John Travolta has been banned for being a pr1ck, not in my house son shine
Atrium – need denim? there’s only one place to go, these guys really know what they are doing
Cafe Wha – is there any thing better than live music? This place re-writes the book on live music, the house band is off the hook, you’ll get everything from the Beatles to Method Man. And that’s just in the warm up…. people dancing in the isles 7 days a week
Tens Cabaret Club : 641 W 51st St – while the cat’s away the mice will must play?

Any ways, over and out as I wait for my two three hour delayed flight back to LHR. At least the Admirals lounge has beer. Spk soon
