New bars in Hong Kong to try drinks in
Settle yourself at the Art Deco bar, done up in beautiful oxblood marble and wood, and let the maître des cocktails, Suraj Gurung, serve up both classic and fun takes, such as the Chambord Margarita, Absinthe Frappé, or their famous Cornichon Martini. As for bites, chow down on a comforting Croque Monsieur or try to get your hands on the JP Burger, of which they're only making 10 per night, which makes them worth their weight in gold among the city's foodies.

The Mark Clam Bar
Get a taste of the Hamptons (without the ticks and all that traffic) at the Mark's pop-up clam shack, which feels surprisingly transportive despite its location right on the bustling corner of Madison and East 77th. It has a fine dining pedigree—the spot's a collab from Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspa—but the Clam Bar keeps it a little more casual. If it seems like the red-and-white checkered accessories and breezy, homemade-looking shack were made to be posted, well…they probably were. It will look good on your feed, but the food is satisfying on its own—this not-so-humble shack is serving up fresh lobster rolls with cherry tomatoes and kicky sriracha mayo and baked littleneck clams with garlic butter and BBQ sauce, along with roadside sides like corn with lime and crispy hand-cut fries. We love it for a long, late summer lunch, when you can sip a Bloody Mary, which is served here either with or without an oyster and caviar, or an Aperol spritz. And for dessert, a simple farmstand 'bowl of strawberries' is reimagined with berry sorbet, honey brioche and a lime meringue. That'll cost $21—this is almost the Hamptons, after all. The drinks: Kick back with a Montauk Summer Ale or treat yourself to an outrageously extravagant $45 Bloody Mary.

An impossible-to-get table on the Upper East Side? Stranger things have happened. Chez Fifi, from the folks behind neighborhood spot Sushi Noz, is the rare uptown restaurant popular with the downtown set. A roast chicken (with its much-chattered-about price of $78), filet mignon with fries and a rotating omelette give the spot its bistro bona fides. Still, for our money, your money is better spent on the assorted charcuterie, which includes salmon rillettes with cucumber, foie gras and jamón iberico with Marcona almonds. (Bonus: Shockingly, the bread and butter are free.) Don't skip dessert: here, the French classics are done right, with a gorgeous, crackling crème brulee and dark chocolate mousse served with chantilly cream. It's all very romantic—and why wouldn't it be, in the intimate room of just 12 tables? Chez Fifi is named for Firouzeh Foulquier, the mother of the brothers who run the place, and while it doesn't feel like home, necessarily, it's a lovely little place to stay awhile. After all, you scored the reservation—and it'll take a while to get another—so you'll want to make it last. The vibe: Folks who can afford a $78 roast chicken or have an assistant who can nab a table, plus foodies who simply must try the hottest table. The food: Elegant charcuterie, bistro classics like steak frites and an omelette and French desserts that are worth the wait. The drink: Espresso martinis served with ladyfingers, rhubarb sours and other elevated twists on classic cocktails.

Football fans are urged to write to their MP and club heroes over World Cup dog killings in Morocco
Dogs on a truck in Morocco - Animal News Agency Animal welfare campaigners are calling on football fans to write to their MP and get their footballing heroes to do likewise, over the brutal mass killing of dogs in Morocco ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The International Animal Welfare Protection Coalition (IAWPC), a global alliance of 27 animal charities including the RSPCA, Dogs Trust and PETA, is urging constituents to ask their MPs to raise the issue with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and put pressure on FIFA to take action. It follows mounting international outrage over Morocco's ongoing extermination of its free roaming dog population, with shocking footage revealing animals being poisoned, shot and beaten in full view of tourists and children in cities that are set to host the World Cup. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Among those backing the IAWPC's campaign are renowned wildlife broadcaster Chris Packham, music legend Gary Numan, and Downton Abbey actor Peter Egan. TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, world-famous primatologist Dr Jane Goodall, and French screen icon Brigitte Bardot who have also voiced their support. Legendary musician Gary Numan, said: 'Dogs are loyal and loving, and this is a human-made problem, which is being dealt with in a way that dishonours not only these beautiful animals, but the people of Morocco. 'To make matters worse, this is all in the name of football. Anyone who has ever thrown a ball for their own dog and anyone with a heart will understand how disgusting this is. 'Please join me in calling for the government of Morocco to urgently think again on this cruelty. And to call for FIFA to stipulate that if there is no humane treatment of animals, there will be no World Cup for Morocco.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Les Ward MBE, chairman of the IAWPC and long-time campaigner against animal cruelty, said: 'We are appealing directly to compassionate people across Nottingham and across the UK, to take a stand. This cruelty is being carried out in the name of the world's most popular sport – the so-called 'beautiful game'. That's not just wrong, it's obscene. 'The footballing world must show that this kind of brutality has no place within sport and will not be tolerated.' The IAWPC is calling for FIFA to make Morocco's World Cup hosting conditional on an immediate end to the brutal killing and replaced, with the immediate adoption of ethical, humane dog population management methods.
