Big Moe's Diner is an American 1950's-themed burger and milkshake restaurant, complete with retro decor and music. Their food is great, and you can eat on a table inside a Chevrolet! It's right by Aldgate East station.

Drinks & Nightlife
The famous Blind Beggar pub is definitely worth a visit. It's right by Whitechapel station (and the market), and they've got a nice beer garden. Make sure you spot the pub cat!

There are lots of pubs around Mile End, but I'd recommend the Morgan Arms most. It's popular among students and locals, and they've got a selection of board games.

Brick Lane market is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're staying in the East End. The market is only open on weekends, but you'll find Brick Lane has a lot to offer on weekdays too. Food (especially amazing curries), vinyl, vintage clothes... it's a hipster dream.

Voted the best UK cinema, the Genesis is an awesome independent cinema. It's cheaper than the mainstream cinemas, and nicer too. There's a bar, and the decor is retro and stylish, with huge posters from iconic movies and cute lighting. Perfect for a date!
