Inspired by NYC's dining scene and the music that comes with it, Dirty Bones is bringing a flavour of the Big Apple to Shoreditch, Soho and Kensington. There's bottomless brunch, vegan burgers and crafty cocktails but it's the cheeseburger dumplings for us; think housemade gyoza stuffed with mince and melted cheese. Drool.
If there's one place that you can always rely on for great cocktails, service and dim sum in London, it's Ping Pong.
