I have two Drinks! to get your fantastically legless this week however, I must first stop to brag; I'm going to Las Vegas! Woo and indeed hoo. Yes, I'm jealous of myself too but honestly, it's been forever since I've been overseas. I plan to make the most of it by also visiting New York. It won't be all play though, oh no, I promise to canvas bartenders and frequent cocktail hot spots all in the name of research for my next Drink! post. That way we all win.

Having never been Vegas I though it best to have options for keeping it nice but also allowing for seedier times. The bright lights and the back alleys as it were. So here's to having a sweet and pretty time in the desert paradise but to also getting down, getting a little bit grubby and perhaps a whole lot dirty.

A new local guide has just come to our attention, right in time for the warm months ahead. Produced by Melbourne bicycle rental company The Humble Vintage, Melbourne for Visitors and Casual Cyclists is full of local knowledge, written for both visitors and local bike riders alike. On the back of one of the cutest maps of Melbourne we've come across, the Summer 2010 issue features themed riding routes, bar, retail and cafe reviews, opinion pieces and a what's on. One read of the pool to pier riding route and you'll be glad you own a bike, or of course wish that you did. If that's the case, the Humble Vintage also has a range of spruced up, eye-turning vintage rides for hire, yours for the day, weekend, or week. Distributed to bike hirers and a selection of cafes around town, the guide is free and available now. Email hire@thehumblevintage.com to get a copy or find out more.
