Taste of Vegas
With Las Vegas hyped and heralded as a rapidly rising star on the international dining scene, one could eat out every night for a month and still not sample all of the top restaurants in town. Thankfully, the Taste of Vegas will make forays into culinary creativity easier with booths featuring the food of many of the best Las Vegas eateries. Beyond the taste testing, festivities at this family-friendly event include live music, fine art and cooking demonstrations by accomplished chefs.

Dogstar
There are doubtless many household pets who can play the guitar and sing backing vocals better than heart-throb Keanu Reeves, but as long as he keeps turning up, then tickets for his sub-garage hobby band will continue to sell by the shed load. If you brave either of these two gigs, go for the one at Blitz, which at least has the virtue of being a genuine rock venue. Shibuya’s Kokaido is a down-at-heel public hall with acoustics guaranteed to amplify the screams of the inevitable hordes of lovelorn screaming teens.

The English Shop
Do continental breakfasts leave you peckish? Then a full Anglo-Irish plate of grease could be just the ticket. A newly opened tea room next to Brussels’ English shop has just begun serving up weekend brunch with meat and eggs supplied by Irish butchers, Jack O’Shea’s, next door. For under 500BF (£10), you can gorge yourself on sausages, rashers and black pudding and wash it all down with bladder-bursting quantities of tea and coffee at no extra charge. During weekdays, the tea room specialises in lighter fare, such as salmon rolls and quiche lorraine.

Singer-songwriter Vonda Shepard enjoyed a unique career breakthrough, shooting to fame via the hit television series ‘Ally McBeal’ instead of through radio airplay or relentless touring. Her early career took a downturn after the flop of her second album, the 1992 ‘The Radical Light, Shepard’. She then turned to the LA club network where, spotted by TV producer David E Kelly, she signed for the comedy-drama. Be prepared for an audience of bland music lovers shouting ‘We Love Vonda’.
