Spring has ducked behind a cloud, so find your fun under cover. A free album from Nine Inch Nails, a vintage fair, Alan Yau's fast food emporium, a beatbox choir. And bad news on the boozing front (which we realise is so not fun).
Eat
We reviewed Sake no hana and liked it. Until the end of May, they're offering a tasting menu matched to Krug Champagne, which we also like. But if you're not feeling flush, you can still dine with Mr. Yau at his new spot, Cha Cha Moon (15-21 Ganton Street, W1F 9BN), a Hong Kong-style cafeteria.
Drink
Bad News. New mayor Boris is banning drinking on Tubes, buses, trams and the DLR as of the 1st of June. Although given that drinking on public transport doesn't exactly portray you as the sophisticate you are, perhaps this isn't a terrible thing.
Experience
The world's largest beatbox choir is performing on Saturday night at Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Does the Queen know what beatbox is? Probably not, but if you know The Roots, you're familiar. The main act is Leed's own Shlomo, and his eight-piece beatboxing ensemble, The Vocal Choir.
Buy
The 20th Century Theatre, home to sample sales galore, hosts the Vintage Fashion Accessories, Jewellery & Textiles Fair on Sunday the 18th. Admission is a fiver, but the finds might be priceless.
Free
Finally, another free download that's legal. Clearly Trent made enough money off of you in uni when you never missed a show. Click here to download the new Nine Inch Nails album, The Slip.
