La Bodega Negra

Our last night in London was definitely bittersweet. We were all leaving London the next day- and not coming back for who knows how long- but we did get to celebrate our last night at La Bodega Negra. Yummm Mexican!

We were kind of confused when first walking into La Bodega Negra. You walk into a door that looks to be the entrance of a sex shop, where really it is the entrance to this underground Mexican restaurant.  

Always love the dark & cozy atmosphere!

Mojitoooo

The genius behind everyone's drinks for the night. 

Thanks, Mr. Bartender!

La Bodega Negra's tacos were amazing! Everyone's favorite were definitely the pork belly tacos. Delishh 

Last tube ride home! Never thought I'd miss public transportation. 

We will miss you, London. Now to head home for the holidays! 

Feliz Navidad! 

The Black Keys at O2

We only had a few more days in London, so we knew we had to go out big. And going to the O2 Arena for the Black Keys was the perfect way.

For every concert at the O2 Arena, they rename all the drinks after songs of the bands playing that night. 

I decided to sip on a "Lonely Boy."

We didn't have the best seats, but we didn't mind. We each grabbed a drink & enjoyed the show.

Gold on the Ceiling

Lonely Boy

My personal favorite of the night- Everlasting Light

Such a great concert! I'm in love. I will definitely be rooting for them to win Album of the Year at this year's Grammys! 

Experimental Cocktail Club

Wednesday night we headed towards China Town to try out a fancy drink or two at the Experimental Cocktail Club. Plus, we had to cheers to Kate Middleton & her big pregnancy news! Only proper.

Here it is! Behind this dingy door is the Experimental Cocktail Club. Just passing by you would never guess that it's an upscale bar.

ECC creates new concoctions each month. But I guess they are a bit behind on updating the menu.. 

But I didn't mind at all! I'm a big Game of Thrones fan, so I decided to sip on a 'Winter is Coming.' 

Great choice!

ECC is so dark & cozy! And the drinks are truly like nothing I had ever tried before. So good!

Until next time! 

We continued our night after ECC hopping around different bars in China town. O Bar being one of them...

So sad to think that we are running out of fun nights like these in London! But I am so glad we made it to Experimental Cocktail Club. xoxo

My Birthday/The Election

Tuesday night was a big night for America. Obama was re-elected as President... and Julia & I turned the big 2-1. To start off such a big day, we needed a big breakfast. 

I have been waiting to come to The Breakfast Club for a while. I have only heard great things. 

A Patriotic Greek Yogurt Parfait to start

My meal of choice: The Sausage Butty 

Hey there Birthday Gal

After a late breakfast, Julia &  I headed to Piccadilly Market 

Although small, Piccadilly Market has a pretty good selection of knick knacks 

I picked up this gorgeous painting for my house back in Athens.

Perfect for when I am missing London once I am back in the States.  

We all were very anxious to start of our night of Birthday festivities, so around 7pm we headed to Coco Momo for a glass or two of champagne. Thanks, Nina!

Julia & I love Mexican. Like can't get enough of it. So, of course, it was only proper to eat at our favorite place in London to get our fix of chips & salsa- El Camion. 

BEST strawberry daiquiri 

The election on the mind..

Holy Nachos

Red Velvet. My favorite.

SO many candles! Ahhhh

Lovely wall art

Tequila shots all around! 

Cheers! 

Helllo, Zoo Bar 

I thought the cheetah print shorts were appropriate.

Finally 21!

Loving up on our security

So happy

Get it, Gabby!

A Birthday always need a stripper pole... 

 ...and a Smirnoff Ice or two.

Overall, a very successful 21st Birthday London Style. After filling my Mom in on the night, she insisted on celebrating again once I got home. I didn't argue with her. So, coming December we will see if we have a successful 21st Birthday American Style.
