The nice thing about talking to someone who is travelling for the first time is that you get to see everything through new eyes again. I’m not saying I’m jaded or anything like that but when talking to Teesh I realise just how much I take for granted. Its great to see her see the wonder in everything – even somewhere like Soho, which to me is sometimes just a place to hang out. I guess to someone who has never been to Soho the energy and the people and the atmosphere is something very different.
We were walking around tonight and she just couldn’t help but express her amazement at all the goings on. We were having so much fun just wondering around looking at everyone that it wasn’t until 11 that we sat down for some food! Most places were still packed at that time of night but we found a cute little cafe called Cafe Emm.
If you want reasonably priced and traditional British food Cafe Emm is the place to come. I had a gorgeous steak and ale pie that I would well recommend.
Inside the place was fairly buzzing even at 11 at night however we sat outside because Teesh is a smoker but also so we could people watch. However it almost felt like we were the ones being watched! Still, we did see quite a few interesting things like some guy giving a car the moon for absolutely no reason at all that we could see, lots of couples making out to put it bluntly right in front of us, and even a few ambulance pick ups. Sadly no celebs out on the town though … must have been too early still for them.
