The Last Tuesday Society are an arts collective who are “devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London and beyond.”
The society was first established by William James at Harvard University in 1878 and is now run by the Chancellor Viktor Wynd, who’s been running events in the capital since 2006. Regular events include ‘The Salon’ in which one of the committee members gives a talk accompanied by a nine course dinner or tea on a lawn, a quarterly séance and ‘Loss’ – a night consisting of Victorian taxidermy, headless pigs and piles of rotting fruit as a tribute to Gunter Grass’s fictional nightclub ‘The Onion Cellar’ in which people wept over chopped onions whilst sad plays and songs were performed.

But as awesome as we are at our phos and pad thais, one thing that’s a little harder to hunt down at home is good Latin American eats. If you’re ever in New York and need a reference point to start out with, the hottest tip we can offer you (and also a New York magazine pick) is to head to Brooklyn’s Red Hook Ball Fields.

Brick Lane is awash with vintage shops and dealers. Most are trading the same sort of stock, but if you step off the main drag and down a side street, you might be lucky enough to stumble upon The Vintage Emporium, a new coffee house and vintage shop like no other.
