1. The trendy, ubiquitous pizza chain
Yard Sale, Tottenham
Yard Sale Pizzas will soon be available everywhere in this metropolis, including, in a very unsettling development, the corner of your apartment, next to the recycling container.
But until then, you'll have to settle for the frequent openings of new locations for these well-known pie businesses, the most recent of which will be in Tottenham on March 6.
You can anticipate the same chewy crusts, hip toppings, and excellent vegan options at Yard Sale's eleventh location.
You should keep an eye out for their frequent celebrity collaborations, in which everyone from Romesh Ranganathan to Loyle Carner participates.
2. The boozer with (almost) no booze
The Lucky Saint, Marylebone
You've probably drank a pint of Lucky Saint, widely recognised as one of the best 0.5% beers available, if you've tried Dry January, are sober, or even simply tried a few days without alcohol (God loves a tryer).
If evidence were needed, the brand's first-ever pub, which will open on March 9 inside the remains of the long-defunct Masons Arms, serves as confirmation of the product's rising popularity.
Dry in term, but not in essence (because you may also have proper pints).
3. The pub with a posh menu
The Parakeet, Kentish Town
Has anyone mentioned "ex-Brat chefs"? The Parakeet, formerly known as The Oxford Pub, has Ben Allen and Ed Jennings working in the kitchen, making it a major destination for foodies.
The 60-seat dining room features the seasonal, locally sourced, everything cooked over flames, etc. that you've come to anticipate from pretty much every new opening in London lately, but everything they've revealed so far sounds great. Consider dishes like wood-roasted rabbit with kohlrabi and curry leaf, braised leeks with pecorino and smoked mushrooms, and poached oysters with elderflower pickles. London's North is prepared.
Do you?
4. The sleek Soho bistro
Nessa, Soho
Nessa is no wimpy little girl.
This all-day bistro is tucked away in a neo-baroque structure on the junction of Brewer and Warwick Street and was designed in the style of opulent bohemians like Bloomsbury Group painter and original ethical non-monogamy Vanessa Bell.
Executive chef Tom Cenci will start serving food on March 6 on the ground floor of the brand-new 1 Warwick members' club.
He will prepare a variety of informal culinary showstoppers with a distinct sense of hometown pride. Along with the roly-poly with custard and the ox-cheek hotpot with confit potatoes, there is a British carbonara made with celeriac, confit egg, parmesan breadcrumbs, and truffle.
5. The cult Thai joint having an identity crisis
Smoking Goat Chicken Shop, Shoreditch
What does the Thai BBQ that has it all do when it wants to shake things up? You know and probably adore Smoking Goat.
What to do?
Enter a fried chicken restaurant.
The men of "Goat" were inspired to create their own rendition of the ideal fast food after visiting a stand that served it in Bangkok that was amazing and doused in a fiery nam jim sauce.
That is what they have done with their special fried chicken, which is served with crispy garlic and Thai shallots and is marinated in fish sauce and coriander root.
In addition, during this month-long chicken store event, new dishes including wok-fried kuaitiao khua kai rice noodles and tom yum nam sai soup with velvet crab will be available.
