An update for those interested (any comments and suggestions would be much appreciated): Friday (with the wife) - Lunch at St John - Tea at The Worseley - As You Like It at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (not food related) - Grab something to eat after the play Saturday (with the wife) - Borough Market in the morning (will visit Neal's Yard Dairy while there). Figure we'll try enough things to meet our lunch needs. - Dinner at Moti Mahal Sunday (with the wife) - Still trying to figure out lunch - Dinner at Chez Bruce Monday (on my own) - Waiting on lunch reservation request at The Harwood Arms - Not sure about dinner Tuesday (on my own) - Lunch at The Fat Duck - Dinner in Reading (have to be there for work), probably at a pub Wednesday (on my own) - Might head to Oxford for the morning and lunch - Off to Heathrow for a 4:45pm flight Return to NYC fat, happy and in need of a diet

Thank you for all the suggestions. So far, I've gotten really lucky and found some tables at hard to get spots: - a Friday lunch at St. John - a Sunday dinner at Chez Bruce - a Tuesday lunch table for one (while the wife is in a meeting) at The Fat Duck Next up, I'm working on an Indian spot and tea. Then finding a good gastro-pub or two. I'll be putting those suggestions to good use. Thanks so much everyone and please let me know if anything else pops to mind.

My wife and I live in NYC. Inspired by a last minute business trip to the UK next week, we decided to spend this weekend in London. Since we only have Fri-Sun, we only have a few meals. We're looking for places that are uniquely London (read: can't get in NYC) and are hoping you might be kind enough to share some of your favorite restaurants, food specialty shops and markets. We were thinking about going to Borough Market on Saturday morning. Also thought we might try to get tables at St. John and Chez Bruce. Might like to try some of London's world famous Indian food. Perhaps a good spot for tea that isn't overrun by tourists. Any suggestions, particularly smaller places we might not have heard of, would be fabulous. Thank you so much for any help.
