Tofu vegan is a great vegan Chinese restaurant! Also Broadway market and Victoria park market are excellent weekend markets that tend to be less crowded! The Barbican is an amazing place to catch movies/concerts/art shows! Also the Almeida theater is one of my favorite play venues in the city!

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You donāt get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when youāre both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!
