. . . Well I've now completed the first two tasks. I've had a formal weigh in and secretly stored the results which you are obviously not privy to. However, my partner, RM, has acted as independent scrutineer and can vouch for my integrity.
I've also used http://www.streetsensation.co.uk/ to do some initial research on the number of venues. The results are:
Dean Street (West side) - 3
Dean Street (East side) - 19
Frith Street (West side - 14
Frith Street (East side) - 15
Greek Street (West side) - 10
Greek Street (East side) - 20
Making a grand total of 81 eateries before 31 October (i.e. in 20 weeks) an average of just over 4 per week.
How do I feel about this? Well it does seem quite daunting as I'll need to make up for the weeks when I'm away on holiday. However, if I have a pre-dinner drink, a meal and then a nightcap, I could manage three in one night!
The good news is that there does seem to be a lack of chains although there is the ubiquitous Pizza Express, Pret and Cafe Nero and perhaps more worryingly, I'll have to go somewhere I vowed I'd never step foot in: an Angus Steak House. There's also a good mix of food from around the world, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, India and China.
So, I'm now going to check my findings to make sure there've been no changes and then I'll attempt to publish the list on my blog. This may be easier said than done, as yesterday it took me ages to try to re-size my photograph so that it didn't overlap with text. In the end, I gave up and decided to try a different design, which seemed to work. Hopefully lists will be much easier!
