"You’re really happy in your job but that recruiter from LinkedIn just won’t quit. The other day they endorsed you for ‘excellent analytical thinking’, and everyone from your therapist to dry cleaner knows that to be a crock of shit. Enough is enough. Head for Cecconi’s in Soho. Why? Because if you’re going for a pointless lunch you might as well eat some decent pizza and have a glass of wine. This big Italian spot on Old Compton Street has enough polished wood and tan leather to keep things feeling classy but the two course £12 weekday lunch menu will keep your ‘I’m definitely not coming to work at Facebook’ guilt at bay." - heidi lauth beasley
