Let’s face it. We’re excited for summer. But we know, come February, the heat will be weighing in on us. That’s why you should enjoy the last few cooler days of winter in the winelands.
We think we’re so above it all, don’t we? Cape Town locals love to avoid ‘hot-spots;’ during season, as they attempt to ‘avoiding the chaos’ – but the joke’s actually on us.

Winter is generally not well received by the average summery capetownian.

They have a few killer specials lined up.

Saul Zelaznog from Reno, Nevada thought it would be okay if he ordered, ate and then left without paying the bill at Brewer’s Cabinet restaurant.

Recently, coders in the San Francisco region have been using custom written programmes to book top-end tables in Silicon Valley – before the average diner has the chance.
