### **MEET YOUR FRIENDS: Vin-Yard**

If pizza, wine and cocktails in a basement bar sounds right up your street, be sure to check out Vin-Yard, the brainchild of Yard Sale Pizza and natural wine specialists Top Cuvée. Opening this weekend for a limited three-week period, Yard Sale’s Hackney Road basement will transform into the ultimate wine bar meets pizza parlour. Expect Yard Sale favourites – including Holy Pepperoni, made with spicy nduja sausage and the iconic cheese and Marmite garlic bread. Meanwhile, Top Cuvée will be overseeing the bar, offering a variety of natural wines. You heard it here first.

### **BRUNCH HERE: INO Gastrobar**

The perfect spot for a lazy Saturday brunch with friends, INO has a new menu that will hit the spot. Taking inspiration from the classic Greek taverna – with a nod to American classics – tuck into small plates like taramasalata with bottarga and pitta bread, octopus tacos and gyros flatbread with iberico ham, tomato and olive oil. Larger dishes include homemade onion-marmalade pork sausages with a side of tzatziki and mac and cheese cooked over charcoal, topped with truffle. To drink, take your pick from Greek-inspired cocktails (we recommend the Athens Spritz), barrel-aged drinks and grapefruit sodas.

### BOOK A TABLE FOR DINNER: Laurel’s On The Roof

Inspired by 1970s LA and pool parties in the Hollywood Hills, Laurel’s On The Roof is an all-day dining destination on the rooftop of the Mondrian Shoreditch. Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, the Laurel’s menu is perfect for warmer days – think sea bream tacos, Malibu shrimp cocktail, cobb salads, Oysters and burrata salads, all washed down with frozen spicy margs and other 70s-inspired cocktails. Previously The Curtain rooftop bar at the Shoreditch Hotel, the new spot isn’t a members-only space, meaning it’s open for everyone, ’til late.

### **GET YOUR CULTURE FIX: Much Ado About Nothing**

What better way to mark the Globe’s 25th anniversary and the theatre’s first full summer season since 2019 with a new iteration of Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy. Bringing the sparring of Beatrice and Benedick to the stage once more, this new production is headed up by Lucy Bailey, whose take on Shakespeare’s tragedy *Titus Andronicus* back in 2014 was so frightening, several in the audience reportedly fainted. A fun and light-hearted production, *Much Ado About Nothing* is the perfect way to dip your toe into a spot of culture this weekend – plus, standing tickets start from just £5.

### **SHOP ONE-OFF ART: Felt Presents Sensational Beings**

This month, contemporary craft platform Felt is popping up at Safehouse in Peckham for the launch of its new collection and exhibition, Sensational Beings. Showcasing established and emerging contemporary artists, the shoppable exhibition is open until Saturday. Expect everything from appliqué and patchwork to ceramics and paintings with every piece an original or limited edition, with a focus on otherworldly creatures and mythological animals. Highlights in the collection include large-scale photography by Casey Moore, ceramics by Mercedes Workman and canvases from Alice Neaves.

### **EAT IN THE SUNSHINE: Borough Market**

Borough Market is a must for everything from Bread Ahead’s iconic doughnuts to Brindisa’s hangover-curing chorizo roll. As of this month, the market’s outdoor dining setting is reopening, with a selection of its favourite restaurants – including Padella, Elliot’s, Mei Mei, Shuk and 26 Grains – offering relaxed eating in and around the market’s trademark arches. And following the success of recent Sunday openings, Borough Market Kitchen will be joining traders in opening seven days a week, serving up fresh empanadas and steak sandwiches from Porteña and delicacies from Richard Hayward Oysters.

### **GET THE DRINKS IN: La Piñata**

A celebration of agave spirits and Mexican culture La Piñata is an opportunity to taste some of the best tequila and mezcal. For its second year at Tobacco Dock, it’s bringing together 20 producers and offering tastings, masterclasses, panel discussions and plenty of cocktails to try. There’s also a street food market channelling the finest Latin American flavours. Open from 11am to 8pm this Saturday and Sunday, it’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours.
