I love to join in with a new cool sort of dining with my husband. It is called ‘Secret Dining’, a hip new trend making its way from Chicago to London. Basically these underground restaurants offer gourmet dinners at invitation-only parties in exchange for donations. Sometimes the underground restaurants dinners are mixed with salon-type discussions, art showings or other events. Cool, exclusive, hip. All the fun of running an upscale restaurant without all of the food regulations worries.
