Many meals were shared with friends, giving us the chance to catch up. There was also a meal at Palomar, a newly opened Israeli chef owned boutique restaurant we learned about in Jerusalem. It's right in the theatre district and worth a visit.
And yes - there were other activities that didn't involve food.
Theatre both high & low brow:
"The Book of Mormon" vs "1984".
Guess who picked which one? Both were terrific.
Retail therapy:
Liberty, besides having timeless fabrics, continues to be a highly curated shop, that never fails to delight.
Fortnum & Masson - it's been years - but oh what a treat!
Museums:
There are so many to choose from, but summer means two special exhibits at the Royal Academy. The Student Show may ask more quations than it answers. The Summer Exhibition you could return to again and again. With pieces in every medium, and most for sale, there are bargains to be had and something for everyone.
The Narional Portrait Gallery's exhibit, Great War Portraits, traced WWI from before Franz Ferdinand's 1914 assasination, through the post war era when people insisted on images that more accurately portrayed what they saw from their veterans. A most memorable exhibit!
