London Calling

As the year winds down, we are gearing up for our newest release – BrinkGuide London. Our intrepid team of writers has been scouring the hot spots and not spots of the most multicultural, schizophrenic, cosmopolitan and straight-up brilliant city on the planet. We’re happy to report the London line-up is coming together nicely. From diners to dim sum, Hello Kitty cameras to custom tattoos, burlesque to bistroteque – you get the idea. So stay tuned.

Meantime, with the heady mix of fresh snow and holiday buzz in the London air, why not drop by the Ice Rink at the Natural History Museum in the coming days. After all, even a tourist trap can be an awesome thing – especially in winter when the tourists ain’t around. Located on the east lawn of the museum grounds, the Ice Rink is in its fifth year, but has upped its game this season with an enormous 1,050-square-meter rink. (A smaller rink for pint-sized skaters is linked via an ice bridge.) Best part: The Cafe Bar perched overlooking the ice is a prime spot for imbibing some liquid courage or just feeling warm and smug. No cover, reasonable drinks, pricey to skate.

Til 10pm most days – through January 9
