"You’re really glad that you’re getting closer to this person. Just think, one day you might exchange novelty Christmas socks or accidentally sleep together after your only partially ironic Single And Sad V-Day Bash(!) takes a turn for the worst. Isn’t friendship beautiful? For now, capitalise on how nice it all is at Officina 00. This handmade pasta spot near Old Street roundabout has a cool, laidback feel, is super affordable, and serves some seriously tasty handmade pastas. And yes, no matter how much you get on, you’re not going to want to share the profiteroles." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
