Fay Maschler's week in food, from Bar Termini to Greenberry Café

Nibbled on the slippery extra almonds requested by my chum with his Marsala martini made from Beefeater gin, Marsala dolce, dry vermouth and almond bitters at Bar Termini, the coolest dive in Soho.

At Greenberry Café in Primrose Hill a typically chipper assembly of soba noodles, spring onions, green papaya, carrots, edamame beans, pickled radish and peanuts.
