"Sadly, we don’t have a time machine. If we did we would let you borrow it so you could go back in time to picking your seat for the flight and avoid the world’s most iconic snorer. But, what we lack in time travel potential, we make up for in Bar Americain. This very good looking bar near Leicester Square and Soho feels distinctly like you’ve stepped back into 1920s Paris, and there’s even a cabaret spot across the hallway if you’re looking to keep the night going after a couple of old fashioneds. You’ll find this cocktail lounge inside Brasserie Zedel, a huge, surprisingly affordable French restaurant that you should definitely check out if you’re also looking for somewhere to eat in the area." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver
