‘This is as good as food gets in London' – Town, in Drury Lane, reviewed
Town – well-named, it has vitality – is on the ragged part of Drury Lane WC2 near the Majestic Wine Warehouse and Travelodge. Like musical theatre, whose home this district still is, it is so ebullient and desirous of being loved that it is impossible not to love it back, because it seethes with that rare thing in days of ennui: enthusiasm. It is Judy Garland before the drugs won out and Max Bialystock of The Producers before he lost the pearl in his cravat pin and fell to shagging little old ladies to fund bad plays. It is not exactly the fag end of Covent Garden reborn – we need ragged parishes in over-polished London – but it is more interesting than the awful deadness of the piazza, which is now Westfield-near-Thames. Town is joyful, and London, so wracked with criticism – fumes of self-hatred and decline – needs it. It lives in a red-brick Edwardian building with a grand doorway and pale pediment. It looks like a municipal swimming baths, and there is nothing wrong with that: every street should have one, as we only bother to remember during heatwaves, by which time it is too late to do anything about it. Inside, it is Star Wars meets Trash Disco: a Death Star ceiling; a bizarre oval central bar in apple green; shining red pillars; yellow glass partitions; chairs in cream and beige, because more colour would blow the diner's head off, and that is what the alcohol – this is also a serious bar – is for. The designer, who is clearly a madman in the style of Augustus Pugin, also did Ambassadors Clubhouse off Regent Street. He thinks minimalism is disgusting, and this is fine. Who can cope with minimalism in wretched days? To me, civilisation is a white dwarf star: it brightens before it explodes. Here we have expertise in service. The waiting staff are, to a woman, excellent: capable, beautiful and kind. They are like idealised nurses, or mothers. They are not young, which I appreciate, because I am not young either, and what ecstasy the colour-blocking in the room exudes, they match in flesh. Town, like a West End show – this is explicitly dining as theatre, it hums with pleasure – is well-reviewed. They know they have a hit, and they meet it. For £150 for two (including a lot of alcohol) you sit in the stalls. The food is from Stevie Parle of Joy at Portobello. I have eaten predictable, overpriced food in recent months – in a room decorated like a country house I narrowly avoided a plate of duck for £52, which is neurotic and absurd – but this has real love in it, and it feels both familiar and weird, as good food should. If it has a genre – though it seems to defy one – it is modern Mediterranean with seams of British flesh. We eat an immense round potato sourdough loaf with bone-marrow gravy and a sprig of rosemary as thick as a human finger, and then fall to meat: beautiful, creamy Coombeshead-cured mangalitsa shoulder; wine-cured wild-farmed beef with candied walnuts and cheese whizz, lying like a pliant animal in a garden; a fine, plain rump steak; duck and Amarone pappardelle, with cinnamon, chilli, juniper and smoked almond, prettier than it should be; beef-fat pink fir potatoes, which we could not eat because the colour-blocking had overstimulated us and we ordered too much. This is as good as food gets in London, and it is served with charming, if dystopic, mania. Go to Town before it explodes.

Mel Brooks loves ‘Hidden Figures'?! Julianne Moore's a ‘Superbad' fan?! Stars reveal their most surprising NYT movie picks
When The New York Times recently dropped its list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century, it didn't just spark film buff debates — it also gave readers a peek into which movies actors, directors, and creatives listed as their favorites. And let's just say, the results are full of surprises. Who would've guessed that comedy legend Mel Brooks — the mind behind Blazing Saddles and The Producers — is a major fan of Hidden Figures? His top 10 also includes Jojo Rabbit, A Beautiful Mind and The Bourne Identity. More from GoldDerby Billy Joel doc 'And So It Goes' sets HBO premiere date, 'The Strangers 2' trailer drops, and more of today's top stories 'American Idol' winner Jamal Roberts to join Brandy and Monica on 'The Boy Is Mine' tour 'Only Murders in the Building': After surprise success at SAG, how big can Season 4 get at the Emmys? Then there's horror king Stephen King, who proved he has a soft side with Brokeback Mountain on his list, alongside more intense films such as Black Hawk Down, Million Dollar Baby, and Oppenheimer. When Oscar winner Julianne Moore needs a laugh, it appears she turns to comedies Superbad and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. Rounding out her list was also stylish dramas like Black Swan, Ex Machina, and Lost in Translation. The list also suggests that Elizabeth Banks and Nathan Lane may want to schedule a movie night as many of their favorite films overlapped like Parasite, Inglourious Basterds and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Speaking of unexpected taste, Pamela Anderson — fresh off her acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl and starring in the upcoming Naked Gun reboot—showed she has quite the range in movies and picked the The Lobster and Amélie for her top 10. Former teen icon Molly Ringwald (The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink) chose Eighth Grade, a film about an introverted teenager trying to navigate middle school, as one of her favorites along with Get Out, and La La Land While Brett Goldstein, the Emmy-winning actor and writer know for playing Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, also has some surprising picks including Pixar's Inside Out and the comedy Bridesmaids. He's not alone in his love for Inside Out — Bryce Dallas Howard, Simu Liu, Paula Poundstone, Tramell Tillman, and Tony Hale also added the emotional animated film to their list. And if you're wondering what movie totally dominated the lists? That would be Parasite. Banks, Lane, Moore, Ringwald, Toni Collette, Sofia Coppola, John Lithgow, Amy Pascal, Naomie Harris, and Jodie Turner-Smith were among the many who listed the 2019 Bong Joon Ho Oscar winner as one of their top films.
