A brand-new restaurant and bar with some serious central London views is set to open. Kitty Hawk will be taking over the rooftop space at Page8 hotel on St Martin’s Place, which used to belong to the now-closed Japanese restaurant Bisushima. The sixth floor Bisushima site is 6,000 sq ft, with a separate bar area and two roof terraces, which directly overlook Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column, as well as a bit of Covent Garden. Not a bad part of London to gaze on at all, really.

Drinking pink poses challenges for lazy mixologists who like sophisticated sippers. As we learned while researching whimsically colored cocktails, not all pink cocktails are created equal. Many pink drinks are cloyingly sweet. Others have complicated recipes that require blenders and lots of ingredients. These don’t work for us since we’re...

A red wine is the sum of several important factors. Terroir, grape varietal, weather, and the vintner’s skill conspire to create a sumptuous beverage that shares a color but varies wildly elsewhere. This diversity makes drinking red wine fun, and any pour of something new and unfamiliar can double as a mini-adventure filled with enticing flavor possibilities.

In the United States, there’s no liquor trendier than tequila. According to The Spirits Business (TSB), agave-based spirits overtook American whiskey value-wise in 2022 and surpassed it in terms of volume the next year. But despite the tequila category reporting several years of consistent double-digit growth, 2023’s sales figures indicate that things could be slowing down. As revealed by the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. (DISCUS), tequila and mezcal sold 31.6 million cases combined last year — only a 5.7 percent volume increase year-over-year. Value grew as well, though only by 7.9 percent to reach a combined $6.5 billion. In such a flourishing category, it’s only natural that some brands continue to outperform others.

People won’t have to question whether names like Vincenzo and Giovanni hail from Italy. They’ll just know by the distinct sound. It’s a great way to show some Italian pride … or at least show your deep adoration for the country and culture.
