Cafe Belvedere Espresso Martini <\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Last week there was a \u2018Espresso Martini\u2019 pop-up in London, Caf\u00e9 Belvedere. The pop-up was located in Soho, serving nothing but espresso martinis. Set up like an industrial coffee shop, but with a very naughty twist, Caf\u00e9 Belvedere did supply coffee cocktails to fashionistas and vodka fans throughout London Fashion Week. According to the writer of the article on Secret London, the espresso martini is definitely the must-have accessory for Spring\/Summer \u201918 \u2013 or, in fact, any season at all.<\/p>\n

At this \u2018Club\u2019 avatars can dance and mingle<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

This \u2018club\u2019 wants people to dance in virtual reality. VR platform High Fidelity wants to expand the medium’s social opportunities, starting with a club where avatars can dance and mingle. VR company High Fidelity has created a dance club in VR, where people (in avatar form) can experience a different world of dancing. The company wants to provide VR experiences that bring people together in a different dimension. The experience is supposed to feel very close to reality, with the avatars mimicking the movements only delayed by about a tenth of a second.<\/p>\n

Focusing on the noise levels in various establishments, it provides users with information about the quietest time to visit a particular place. They have created a mobile app which uses crowdsourcing to gather information about noise levels. The app collects information on noise levels in restaurants, theatres, cafes and more. According to the article at Springwise the app is only available in San Francisco, Paris, Sydney and Toronto. If you want to know more check out the article.<\/p>\n

Turning delays into yays with free Gordon’s & Tonic<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Gin brand Gordon\u2019s has started granting commuters impacted by train delays with free or half-price gin and tonics in the UK. They already did this at Waterloo Station but it will be implemented throughout 2018. The algorithm of Gordon\u2019s gin combines cumulative minutes of delay with levels of Twitter buzz with #YayDelay to pinpoint the moments when a free G&T will be most welcome. Meaning: Station delays + Twitter activity = either 50% off or a free G&T.<\/p>\n
