Time for a stock take . . .

I decided that as it's just been two months since I started my challenge, it was time for a stock take to see if there had been any changes since my lists were compiled.  Actually what I mean is, have any closed down and not re-opened so that I could claim some quick wins.  Now I know some of you will think this is cheating, but if it's not there, it's going to be claimed as a hit.

Cafe Italia (listed from Street Sensation) is not sandwiched (or perhaps it should be paninied?) between Little Italy at 21 Frith Street and Bar Italia at number 22.

Stanza on Greek Street West has now been turned into the Fox Poker Club (opening shortly).

The enticingly named Tangier Wine Bar on Greet Street East is, contrary to Street Sensation, part of Maison Toureg which I have already visited.

Kaffee Automat and Pendulum Bar which should have been next door to each other on Frith Street West no longer exist. 

Clutching at straws, but the address of Ba Shan is technically 24 Romilly Street, so that's crossed off.

Then there are the ones which may not be quite appropriate. 

Although Moonlighting Eclipse www.moonlightingnightclub.co.uk/ does still exist on Greek Street East, I'm afraid it only opens after I've gone to bed and so I definitely won't be going.  However, if I start work early enough it will probably still be open then. 

The same can be said for Club 49 Soho www.club49soho.com/ on the opposite side of Greek Street, Ku Bar www.ku-bar.co.uk/#/bar/frith and Karaoke Box www.karaokebox.co.uk/soho/whatson/ both on Frith Street East.

However, just so you don't think I've completely given up, I'll tell you about lunch time and Moolis http://www.moolis.com/ on Frith Street West.  It's really unusual with wholemeal rotis stuffed with either a meat of vegetarian filling.  I plumped for a small Goan Pork mooli with pomegranate salsa.  It was easy to eat, not too large, very spicy and good value at £3.  There was also plenty of seats if you wanted to eat inside.  They also have a license if you'd like a drink with your roti.  Will definitely return as it makes a change from sandwiches and paninis.
