hi - off to Lisbon on Wednesday and wondered if anyone had the inside story on places to shop?

where is the main shopping centre? And are there any places that stock streetwear - shoes, clothes?

Thanks in advance! Martin

hi - off to Lisbon on Wednesday and wondered if anyone had the inside story on places to shop, eat and party?

Staying in Bairo Alto but the only club I know of is Lux - any help?

Also - where is the main shopping centre? And are there any places that stock streetwear - shoes, clothes?

Thanks in advance! Martin

for me:

shops: Hideout (soho), Maharishi (covent garden), Diverse (islington), Harvey Nicols (knightsbridge), foot patrol (soho), duffer (covent garden), sefton (islington)

food: busaba(soho), st john (kentish town), drapers arms (islington), fino , rivington bar and grill (shoreditch)

that's cool - thanks for the pointers.

hi folks - off to NYC this coming weekend and wondered if anyone had any tips where to find vintage sunglasses, preferably in Manhattan. Especially looking for old Rayban Aviators or Cazals....

cheers - any help hugely appreciated!
