Lena Dunham Instagram – I’ve been in London long enough that I feel like I should have become the queen of high tea, the princess of Carnaby Street, the mistress of Georgian architecture and late night curry. But- like lots of immune compromised people- pre-pandemic life hasn’t restarted for me, there has been no hot vax summer and most of the spots I frequent are between my bathroom, my bedroom and the less populace parts of the park (I might argue that locking it up is not only a job for the immune compromised these days, but that’s for another, less playful post.) Because this is just to say that I finally made it to the London Review of Books Cake Shop and and Oh My Gosh. Woman authors overflowereth? ✔️ Vegan food that makes you feel like you’re in a cult in the 70s? ✔️ Wooden baking spoons with the insignia of my favorite literary journal, which will make great niche holiday gifts for my NYC friends? ✔️ It doesn’t matter sometimes if you only take one trip into civilization a month just so long as you make it a really good one… ps This falafel wrap with ginger, golden raisins etc was very important to me. 📚 @lrbbookshop @lrbcakeshop @londonreviewofbooks London Review Bookshop
