New Stuff – Vintage Clothes, Sushi and and Popeye Eggs
by Anya Driscoll on 5 March 2010As ever, I cast an eye over the latest additions to Metrotwin.
Dizzy’s – Granola Belgian waffles? My head and my stomach are now in battle over whether or not that is healthy.
Follow Me Cafe – The photo for this recommendation has just given me the biggest egg craving. Eww, and ‘egg craving’ looks so wrong written down.
Blue Ginger – An endless sushi bar sounds like a heavenly dream.
Sarabeth’s – ‘Popeye Eggs’ are the speciality at Sarabeth’s. Mmmmm eggsssssss.
Cat and Mutton – A London pub, called the ‘Cattle and Shoulder of Mutton’ back when it opened in the 1700’s, but then everyone knows Marketing Managers and lifestyle PR agencies weren’t invented/summoned from the bowels of hell till at least the Industrial Revolution.

Soho Japan – A cunningly deceptive name for a sushi bar in Fitzrovia.
Sweet Tooth – True story: my Dad once told my brother that he could eat the pick n mix that had fallen on the floor in Woolworths. My brother proceeded to grab handfuls of gummy sweets, wipe them all over the floor and stuff them into his mouth. A proud day for logic, but not for Woolworths, hygene nor my father.
City Inn – Free Wi Fi!
Al Hamra – FELAFELS. Nuff said.
White Star – a ’sipping spirits’ bar. Quite how it will fare in the land of strawpedo is anyone’s guess.
Da Corradi – I think Metrotwinners may be posting lots of photos of fried eggs to taunt me at this point.
Junk - a six foot trough of 100,000 old photographs? It’s like Facebook stalking, but in the olden days.

Buffalo Exchange – A clothing exchange. A solution to that age old conundrum as to why, when you give nothing but lovely designer clothes away, the local charity shop is full of nothing but second hand Primark.
Monk’s Thrift – We do like a bit of vintage.
Jack the Pelican – Williamsburg’s local art gallery. Can you feel the hipster vibes radiating from that sentence?
