New cafes in Sheung Wan and Central that you should try

Time Outa day ago
The pint-sized No Title doesn't have much space for seats, so they're mainly a takeaway spot but they're pet-friendly for those who do want to sit in. The proprietors Wing and Man are a young couple from Guizhou who love nostalgic Hong Kong vibes, so their cafe is full of Easter egg references, such as a goldfish tank that's a nod to Wong Kar-wai's films, a milk cake inspired by the long staircase at the end of Gough Street, and a playlist of Cantopop classics.
Their coffee blend is from the Chinese person who won the world's best pour-over coffee, and No Title is the only place in Hong Kong where you can savour this. The nutty blend carries hints of dark chocolate and buttery caramel, while the fruity option has white floral notes. There are plenty of options on their sizeable list of signatures and non-coffee sips that come with their own stories, such as the Tiny Goldfish, the Moulin Rouge, and the Opacarophile (it means someone who loves sunsets, fyi).
If you're not quite sure what to choose, have a chat with the baristas who can pick something based on your current mood and what you're sensing in that moment, which is a really cute touch. Apart from homemade Lamington cake, No Title also offers Guizhou sticky rice, featuring lard and soy sauce mixed rice topped with pork crackling – an interesting pairing for coffee, to be sure!

Spider-Man wows Glasgow crowds with stunts during blockbuster filming

The movie set took over Bothwell Street, which has been transformed into New York City, last week and filming continued today. Crowds flocked to the sealed-off ends of the street in every direction to try and catch a glimpse of the web-slinging hero, played by Tom Holland. They weren't disappointed as today's filming saw Spider-Man swinging from side to side on the street, dangling precariously from a metal structure mounted on a lorry.

Edinburgh pub launches £7k Boston holiday giveaway

The Boston Bar, an Irish-American establishment, is offering punters the chance to win a three-night-stay in Boston worth £7000 to mark the opening of its new basement space, Downtown. The trip includes return flights from Edinburgh, a four-star hotel, curated experiences and a food and drink allowance for the winner and a plus one. READ MORE: Spider-Man wows crowds with stunts during blockbuster filming on city streets Downtown is said to be inspired by the 'traditional Irish pubs of Donegal' and the 'buzzing bar culture' of Boston. Owner Edward Fox said: 'We wanted Downtown to feel like a little slice of my wife's homeland, Donegal, in the heart of Edinburgh, but with a nod to Boston's gritty charm. 'It's a space that's warm, welcoming and full of life – somewhere you can pop in for a quiet drink or make a night of it. The Boston trip giveaway felt like the perfect way to celebrate this next chapter for the bar.' The interiors of the new space blend dark wood, exposed sandstone walls and antiques sourced from Ireland, the USA and local auction houses. Downtown shows a range of live Irish sports, including Gaelic football and hurling – a stick-and-ball game played by teams of 15. Live trad music sessions will be hosted in the venue on Mondays and Tuesdays from September 15, with Irish comedy nights set to be introduced from October. The space is available to book for private events for groups of 20-100 people and areas are available to book for group sports viewings and the food menu will be similar to its upstairs counterpart, featuring spice bags and Sunday roasts. READ MORE: Jousting event featuring Robert the Bruce to take place in Highland fortress Downtown also offers classic drinks like pints of Guiness and craft beers, as well as themed cocktails, such as the Galway Girl and Fenway Old Fashioned.

Spider-Man fans flock to Glasgow as filming continues for Tom Holland blockbuster

Parts of Glasgow have been transformed into a New York scene once again as filming resumed for Spider-Man 4. Dramatic footage shows the action-packed moment the Marvel superhero appears to leap from building to building during a police chase. The city has been abuzz for days as the cast and crew working on the blockbuster rolled in and lead star Tom Holland was spotted waving to delighted crowds on Sunday. On Monday, filming was halted as strong winds and heavy rain, triggered by the amber weather warning, caused props and set pieces to topple. But it was back to work again on Tuesday to shoot scenes for Spider Man: Brand New Day, as NYPD cars replaced Police Scotland vehicles and New York style yellow cabs were seen lining the streets Videos taken at 11.45am on Tuesday show Tom Holland's stunt double - in the iconic red and blue suit - swinging on a rope from the arm of a crane which is being driven down Bothwell Street. Because of the motion, Spider-Man appears to be leaping from building to building as he moves along the street. Following the crane is a convoy of racing police cars, done up to resemble NYPD. Filming for the eagerly anticipated Marvel movie began on Friday, with areas of Glasgow transformed to resemble parts of an American city. A local - who does not want to be named and took this footage from a high window - said: "It's very exciting, I'm a massive Marvel fan. "Spider-Man is my son's favourite and it's great to be able to tell him about the filming of the movie." On Sunday, Holland delighted onlookers as he took a break to give them a wave, triggering a few cheers. In other clips, the star was seen perched on top of a military vehicle on Bothwell Street with a NYPD car in hot pursuit. He can also be spotted making a dramatic pose on top of the vehicle, without the famous Spider-Man mask on. The Spider-Man Brand New Day film, which will be released in cinemas next summer, follows Peter Parker as he tries to focus on his university studies and leave his Spider-Man alter ego behind. However, when dark forces begin to threaten New York, Peter must suit-up again to protect his friends and neighbours. It's not the first time Glasgow has been transformed for the big screen. Earlier this year, parts of the city centre were closed off for filming of the Sci-Fi movie Ghostwriter. Not much is known about the blockbuster, but cinema legend Samuel L. Jackson is tapped to play a key role in the new J.J. Abrams film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
