Toast of New York heads to London
Londoners are going to have a brand new and very exclusive bar to enjoy by November, when one of New York’s hottest venues opens its first UK venue. If you’re a fan of all things bubbly and French, then the classy champagne bar Flute will definitely be right up your street. And you can guarantee that the expensive wine list and strict dress policy will attract more than its fair share of celebrities too! In fact, if your name doesn’t regularly appear in the pages of Hello or Heat magazine, then I wouldn’t even try getting in for the first few weeks – unless you can do a more convincing job than Chantelle and fool them into thinking you’re in an up-and-coming girl band!
Once the fuss has died down and the door staff have started allowing “normal” people through the door, then Flute has got to be worth checking out, if only for its reputation in Manhattan, the home of some of the best bars in the world. It already won a host of New York nightlife awards and is rumoured to be appearing in the next series of ’Sex and the City'– a sure fire sign that any bar or restaurant has made it in New York. If it’s good enough for Carrie Bradshaw then it’s good enough for me!
The only problem is that most of their delicious “menu” is way out of my price range. Champagnes and sparkling wines start at £9 a glass. A glass! You can get two bottles of cheap Cava for less than that at my local supermarket and I have to pay for next year’s caravan insurance. Still, I guess you’re paying for the fabulous décor, the ambience and the slim chance that you might find yourself nursing an expensive glass of Prosecco next to someone who once had a walk-on part in EastEnders…
