As a writer, one of the random delights of living in London is reading the various signs, packages and other labels. From descriptors, to cheeky one-liners, I’ve come to the conclusion that British copywriters have more fun. Here’s why.

LONDON
Please allow me to introduce you to a delightful small plates place called The Providores on Marylebone High Street. Specializing in innovative fusion food, The Providores also apparently serves London’s largest range of New Zealand premium wines – aka a homerun in my book.
The Providores has two levels, with the upstairs a more formal dining room and the downstairs a casual walk-in spot that doesn’t take reservations. As a result, you’ll often see people lingering around outside, especially on the weekends for their legendary brunch.
On this visit, we opted for a few of my favorites to share. The first was Laksa, a smoked coconut, a prawn and lemongrass dumpling soup with green tea noodles, crispy shallots and coriander. The restaurant was nice enough to split the portion for us to share.
Today was an amazing day – Dunkin’ Donuts opened a central London location adjacent to the Baker Street underground!
As a former employee and huge fan, having a taste of home is pretty exciting. Dunkin’ even has a proper Iced Coffee with Splenda. None of this Iced Americano or hot coffee poured over ice – the real deal!
And yes, there are donuts. Lots and lots of decadent donuts – I was impressed by the flavor options!
I’ve been eating out for lunch more and more since Carrots + Daikon moved to town. A tiny Vietnamese place on Highgate road in Kentish Town, Carrots + Daikon offers a delightful mix of menu items inching pho, banh mi, salad boxes, summer rolls, and more.
Check out how delicious these lunch boxes look and you’ll want to come try one too!
