I haven't felt moved to write anything on here for quite a long time but we just got home from our first dinner at the Y&Y and wanted to tell you all how great it is. We loved the food - loads of fresh ingredients, no grease and quite different …
I have just had two fliers through the door (well, 8 actually but only two varieties).
1. Oasis Indian Buffet, Grand Opening, 10th September. 50% off. Bring your own alcohol. 143 Stroud Green Road.2. World Kitchen. Bangladesh and Indian Cuisine. 10%…
Voted against this. It will make the area so so tedious for residents and visitors. Can you imagine trying to talk people in when giving directions??
Also, by making Tollington more difficult to navigate, is the alternative (Seven Sisters?) only so …
Went to Rub tonight and loved it. Food was perfect - just hot and spicy enough to be interesting without being overpowering. I had pulled pork and madame had jerk chicken. Both moist and tender and right up my strasse.
Looking forward to a long and …
Hello, have been absent from SG for and age but have been prompted to log on to voice my support for Tufo. Went this evening and am delighted they have made such a good job. Paula, the owner, told us that it is her partner in the kitchen and they ar…

So, is the new coffee shop Vagabonds on SGR a coincidence or has someone been doing their homework???
KRS, great map, thanks.
I thought this might be of interest (I started writing and it got quite long - it interests me as a bit of local social history)
I have got all the deeds to my house dating from 1878 (Corbyn Street). The oldest I have is 'an…
I thought it was good too. And well attended.
For those that were there, I will break my web-cover and disclose that I was the one who summed up the business workshop discussions.
I was really interested to hear the MD from Paks and the Traders As…
Julie, I disagree that it was taken over by the Green lobby today. I felt that everyone had a good chance to make suggestions. If anything, it became a little Blackstock Road centric but I think this is natural as the issues there are most acute loc…

Went tonight. I quote the wife, "the worst meal out we've had round here". Really bad, the only saving grace being the Tusker imported beer. Expensive, tasteless and terrible quality meat.
I am probably stealing someones thunder but you might be interested to know that Finfuture is planning to host a planning/regeneration 'conference' at the end of January (probably at the college on Blackstock Road and probably on the 28th). Part of …
Just got in from a night of great food and nice live jazz piano.
We ate like kings; large appetizer platter, two main courses and four beers for under £40. Huge portions, and with a table of 11 getting stuck in, a family of three, a couple and a si…
Stumbled across this place today at lunchtime.
Me and her had a single pie and mash with 'liquor' each. It was really good. The pies were both full, meaty and slightly crispy and the mash was exactly as you would hope. £4.50 each.
Would highly rec…
Went in and had a couple of beers (one being free for opening night) and a chicken burrito. It was nice and busy (as was PappaGs. Yemek being dead again).
Service was excellent, nice family atmosphere. Food was fine. It filled a gap and I would go …

There is a woman and, I think, her daughter that walk about 15 dogs around Corbyn and Thorpedale sometimes. I assume this is some kind of service they are providing. The best thing about it though is that often there is a cat in tow who has to be en…
