Never ones to spend the first days in the office drinking copious amounts of tea and dissecting Xmas tv *ahem* we have started things here with a bang here at Metrotwin and have not one, but two new lists for you!

New Yorkers should definitely check out  NYBarfly’s list of Hipster Bars. The nightlife expert has selected ten hot bars where the cool kids gather to drink beer, pose with pool cues, play arcade games and ironically bowl to their hearts content. Personally I think you can only bowl ‘ironically’ as it is NOT A SPORT, but as you can see, I might be a bit biased in this regard…

The S stands for ’sucksatbowling’

For the Londoners amongst you, I suggest a perusal the profile of Bon Vivant. The luxury concierge and lifestyle management service are our newest partners; based in London, they offer a highly personalised service  at competitive prices that make the concierge industry more accessible to prospective members. Obviously working in this field means they know the hottest new places to be seen in the capital, so have compiled a  list of The Top 10 Restaurant Openings of 2009 – perfect if you have a date you wish impress, or simply want to check out some of the newer places that might have passed you by rather than endure yet another business lunch in Strada.

If you disagree hideously with NYBarfly or Bon Vivant’s lists, want to recommend places for Metrotwin yourself or simply want to tell me how much better than me you are at bowling,  do drop me a line at editor@metrotwin.

Happy New One!
