LATE TWENTIES, NO CLOUDS, NO WIND
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]

THE ROUNDHOUSE RESTAURANT IN CAMPS BAY
13 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]

‘PIRATES’ IN HOUT BAY BANS CYCLING HELMETS
13 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]

LA PERLA, CAPRICE, AND BEYOND
08 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ll be honest, it’s actually 10 at night and I’ve timed this article to come out in the morning, to grace you with more pearls of glory. Good morning! It all started at 1pm, you see. At La Perla. A boys lunch. It was me, “The Big H” and “The Dude” (fresh from his Kika-Sack […]

A DAY AT THE BEACH
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]

35 DEGREES TOMORROW
19 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Whilst the cyclists carry on with their rant, we need to focus on more important things, like the weather. It’s 35 degrees tomorrow!HATING THAT! Hmm… I sense a Caprice lunch coming on.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
19 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I popped into Societi Restaurant on Orange Street in Gardens this morning for some creative writing with Iron Mike, and spotted this sign. “It’s a life’s tile“ See what they did there? They took the word “lifestyle” and changed it, to incorporate their product. ‘Cos they sell tiles, you see. So it becomes […]

FAIL
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]

WEEKEND REVIEW AND A SQUIZZ AT THE DIARY
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]

JACK BLACK ON TAP AT CAPRICE AND MOUNT NELSON
17 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]

EGGS, THRILLER, SAFE HOUSE
08 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My GOD, Saturday was a gorgeous day! I cleverly didn’t over-indulge at Asoka the night before, following the launch of the first Luv Sport TV show. A good night’s sleep and a fresh joint (I went for the pinner – three drags and go) ensured maximum enjoyment of the good weather. I had breakfast scheduled […]

ARE THESE EVEN LEGAL?
15 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m incredibly amazed that there are still people out there that are unaware of the availability of these heavenly, ultra luxurious, evil, yet sexual treats. In Cape Town. In GREEN POINT, no less. You do know about Miss K, right? You don’t? [Muffled snigger – Holding fist to tight lipped mouth, eyes wide open, staring […]

MOMBASA CAFE DOES NOT HAVE TABASCO
10 Mar 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m spending a bit of time in Claremont today – getting back to my roots and all that. I dropped off my car at Hannibal’s car wash and sauntered into Cavendish Square to find a little spot to write you something titillating; something completely different to what I am writing about now. I wandered around, […]

MISS K FOOD CAFE – GREEN POINT
12 Feb 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You may have noticed that new block to the right of the Vida e block on Somerset Road, Green Point. You may not have noticed our new favourite eatery called “Miss K – Food Cafe” that sprung up out of nowhere. I popped in the other day. miss k People who go there get laid […]

CAMPS BAY VIDA E CAFFE OPENS
12 Nov 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I surveyed Camps Bay from The Safe House, caned a joint, hopped on Libby (my scooter) and took a cruise to The Strip to scope out the skirt. You’d be a fool not to on a day like today. I liked what I saw. I parked the beast and made a couple calls on the […]

ALL’S WELLNESS THAT ENDS WELLNESS
27 Sep 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of the rules that I constantly try and enforce on myself is not to stock up on junk food. If I have the need for chocolate or biltong or sweets of any sort, I am forced to go to the shops and get it. I can’t keep a stock of sweets and only tickle […]

OPIUM ON THE BEACH – SHAME
13 Aug 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So Thursday was a holiday and nothing had been planned for Wednesday night. I was meant to be sick so didn’t want to drink a lot of alcohol (I have a weird recollection of a Doctor, somewhere, telling me that “a little bit of alcohol is actually quite good for you”). I had given G-man […]

OH, SO THIS IS WADDA BAR?!
02 Jul 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Driver fetched The Kitesurfer and me (it’s not The Kitesurfer and “I” in this case, Mum) from the Fresnaye Heights dinner party on Friday night at about 23h30 and was given a fresh instruction, “Wadda Bar please, driver. That’s in Claremont. And let’s get some AC/DC cranking, otherwise these 13 Harman/Kardon surround sound speakers […]

FINDING THE MARKET RATHER BULLISH
19 Mar 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I must just warn you that I am writing this after annihilating two joints and half a bottle of Whiskey. (For those who wish to increase their knowledge : whisky from Scotland has no ‘e’, but whiskey from Ireland has an ‘e’. Jamesons, therefore, is spelt WHISKEY). Ja, you know – you learn something new […]

RIBOVILLE RESTAURANT
18 Jan 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t know why, but I have a tendency to NOT get excited about incredible things that are apparently going to happen, until they do. Invariably they fade into oblivion. A good friend of mine, Tom K, an architect (we’ll call him The Architect), has been telling me about a restaurant that he and his […]

SPEND MORE TIME AT CAFE ROUX
11 Sep 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I had heard that some friends of mine had opened a new restaurant in Noordhoek and was waiting for the big call, inviting me for a taste. Weeks went by and I heard excited reports from other friends saying what a great time they had at “Cafe Roux”. From the reports, it sounded like the […]

FULL BREAKFAST FOR R7 – EVERY MORNING
31 Jul 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Look, they HAVE hiked the price up to R7 from their initial launch price a number of months ago of R6. We won’t have a go at them for that. You’re still able to use car guard money in your ashtray to pay for 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, 2 strips of bacon, 2 […]

LA CUCCINO – NO RELATION TO AL PACINO
03 Jul 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I know, I’ve been quite distant lately. But it’s nothing to do with you – don’t blame yourself. I think I know what has caused it. You see, a week or so ago I popped into Harley’s liquor on Buitengracht Street (defiantly open on Sundays) to top up on the stock of Jamesons at the […]

CAPRICE CAPRICE
26 May 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s true that I frequent Caprice in Camps Bay more than the average person. Circumstances have allowed Caprice to be the nearest cocktail bar / restaurant to my place of residence. You see, God has blessed me – and I will shamelessly punt Caprice until I can punt no more. This is not the first […]

IT’S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY
15 May 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Sunday was a fun day. Sunday was also Mother’s Day. With my parents living abroad there is a distinct lack of friends on these family related days. I did the usual and called up a few bastard child friends who also have parents living far away. G-man accepted the invite and we headed off to […]

BAD MANNA’S
05 Jan 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Manna (Epicure) Restaurant on Kloof Street was the venue for our New Year’s day headache. I had been to the establishment before, but only for half an hour. I looked forward to my next visit and was glad that the time had finally arrived. After an extravagant lavish New Year’s night, I really wanted to […]

BAYSIDE CAFE – CAMPS BAY
25 Nov 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m surprised I haven’t really said anything about Camps Bay’s Bayside Cafe before, but I’ve just never really thought of it. I go there a lot and I suppose the regularity of it didn’t necessitate a mention; so I never did. (Seriously, you have to admit, I am CLEANING UP semi-colons lately). But I went […]

NEWS CAFE IN GREEN POINT TRAINING VOL1
15 Aug 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
There was always something that bothered me about News Cafe in Green Point but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. It was suggested by a friend as a potential breakfast spot for Sunday morning. I asked if it was cozy enough. Apparently it was. What joy on arrival to find that it was, […]

VEGAS ROOM – THIS IS IT
13 Jun 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t mean to cuss, but I just came back from a fucking evening of note! Some good guys have opened a new club called Vegas Room. Oh, ok, I see what you’ve done. It’s like VEGAS. Ohhhh, VEEEGAS. Crazy mental! Is that what you want from us? Do you want us to go crazy? […]

THE TUESDAY NIGHT RIDDLE IS SOLVED
25 May 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of my social co-ordinators informed me of something that should be investigated. Apparently ‘Po na na’ (my choice of pre-going-out-drinks venues (along with Osaka (Dharma’s boy))) had launched a vibe for Tuesday nights involving the screening of a movie. I went along with the plan. We scurried along on Tuesday night and, upon arrival, […]
