I agree the Cricket Club in Crouch End is lovely especially on a nice sunny evening. Friends of mine had their wedding reception there last year in July while I dj'd :)

The Stapleton Tavern
I agree the service has gone a bit downhill recently with bar staff not paying any attention to who is at the bar until you wave them over they just ignore people waiting.

Micycle - new bike shop on Ferme Park Road

New Ice cream shop opening...... free samples!
popped in Cremeria Vienna last Sunday on a walk to Clissold Park and I have to say it is some of the best ice cream I've had (I'm not normally impressed by ice cream), good coffee too, very friendly and well worth a visit.
