## Have A Drink 

### Lyan X 

  

 

Ryan Chetiyawardana is Mr Lyan – the ground-breaking, taste-making bar owner and mixologist who’s redefined London’s cocktail scene and won more awards than you’ve had negronis. To mark ten years since the opening of his first bar, all five of his current outposts are being showcased at Sea Containers – including White Lyan (London), Super Lyan (Amsterdam) and Silver Lyan (Washington, DC). Various rooms in the hotel will be transformed into each bar. Even the décor will be recreated, like the mirrored ceiling at Silver Lyan and Cub’s mustard yellow seating. Guests can try each bar’s signature drinks, including the resurrected ‘Pinnacle Point Fizz’ made with Del Maguey mezcal, nixtamalized blue corn, sloe, ginger bitters, sour pineapple and soda. There’s a dining experience in the Cub room, with five dishes and cocktails served during an evening sitting (£150pp).

## Get Date Night Right 

### Art After Dark 

  

 

Berlin and Paris already have late-night art programmes to get visitors into their best galleries at night – and finally, the initiative has landed in London. Thirty of the capital’s best galleries and museums will keep their doors until 9pm over the next two days. There’s an exclusive screening inspired by performance artist Marina Abramović on the Piccadilly Lights, an outdoor art trail in Leicester Square Garden by artists like Claire Luxton and Robert Montgomery, and late-night exhibitions at the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and RA.

## End The Weekend Right 

### Sunday Asado at Sucre 

  

 

In a former concert hall on Great Marlborough Street, Sucre draws on Latin American and European influences to create dishes using seasonal ingredients cooked over open fires. This weekend it launches an Asado (Spanish for ‘roast’) menu featuring marinated steaks, fish and veg. From noon to 4pm on Sundays, diners can tuck into sharing dishes like beef and cheese empanadas, followed by main courses of beef short rib banderita with chimichurri, Iberico steak with peppercorn sauce, or catch of the day with lemon gremolata – all cooked in Sucre’s open kitchen and served with seasonal veg. Finish the meal with dulce de leche profiteroles or poached peaches with blackberry pavlovas and lemon mousse.

## Get Stuck In For A Good Cause 

### Ikoyi x Shake Shack 

  

 

Jeremy Chan is the chef behind two Michelin-starred restaurant Ikoyi. This week, he’s teaming up with Shake Shack to create two limited-edition items. On Friday 13 October from 12pm, diners at Shake Shack Covent Garden can try Chan’s ‘Ikoyi Burger’ with ‘Dark Beer Fondue Fries’. The cheeseburger is topped with deep-fried buffalo sweetbreads, fermented scotch bonnet relish, Efo spice emulsion, and grilled mustard greens – sandwiched in a toasted potato bun brushed with pumpkin seed miso butter. He’s also upgraded Shake Shack’s crinkle cut fries with dark beer fondue infused with lemon thyme, garlic, penja peppercorn, and sliced negi onions. There will be a limited number of burgers – so be sure to get there early. And if you needed any more of a reason to get involved, proceeds will be donated to City Harvest, a charity that collects and redistributes food to those in need around London.
