More on the new St. Pancras

Turns out the bar will be run by Nick Strangeways, considered one of the top cocktail experts in London.

yay! been a while since I reviewed a cocktail bar! yay!

btw: i've decided to term all neogoth architecture as emo architecture. St. Pancras? Shining beacon of emo architecture...

Quite the world citizen, Monique Vanni is an international environmental consultant, with a diplomatic background. She's also a PHD candidate at LSE's Department of Social Policy, an ashtanga yoga practitioner and likes the odd life drawing class.

She's chosen London because it is truly a cosmopolitan experience, and each bus ride feels like a Benetton comercial.

Monique has been in London for over three years, and is always peeling away at new layers of this big onion of a metropolis. While she considers herself a big contemporary art enthusiast, her greatest passion is food.

She loves to buy it, cook it, eat it, and talk about it.... Her London is a bit off the beaten track: a bit scruffy, but glamorous nonetheless. Like Brigitte Bardot after a rough night.
