Latest Time Out worldwide features

Whether you’re at a pub-side shack in London or a swanky, white table-clothed restaurant in Hong Kong, there are brilliant places all over the world to get your gnashers around some properly lip-smacking sandwiches.  Some are full of bougie ingredients, others are cheap and cheerful, but the tradition of cramming cheese, meat, fish, vegetables (or all of the above) between two slices of bread is as universal a dish as you can get. So, without further ado, sink your teeth into our carby, crunchy roundup. Here are the world’s very best sandwiches (according to us). RECOMMENDED:🍝 The best cities in the world for food🎭 The best things to do in the world in 2025🌃 The best cities in the world🌤️ The world’s coolest neighbourhoods This list was edited by Morgan Olsen, Time Out’s former Global Food and Drink editor.

We know what you’re thinking. ‘Valentine’s Day? The fake holiday dreamed up by corporations to sell greeting cards and candy to suburban normies? Why would we ever want to celebrate that?’ Hey, we get it. But to answer your question, any day that gives us an excuse to watch Patrick Swayze save Jennifer Grey from a life without dance, or Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy walk the streets of Paris, or a frozen Leonardo DiCaprio drift to the bottom of the ocean, simply can’t be all bad. Of course, you shouldn’t need a holiday to snuggle up in front of the TV and enjoy a romcom (or rom-dram) with your betrothed. But if you’re specifically looking to give your V-Day an extra spark, these 30 heart-swelling classics are guaranteed to do the trick.  Recommended: 😍 The 101 most romantic films of all-time🥰 The 70 best romantic comedies of all-time💖 The most romantic movies on Netflix right now💌 The best romcoms on Netflix UK

Being in love tends to make you want to shout from the rooftops about how great it all is, so it’s no surprise it dominates the music world. And that means it’s a very, very saturated market. So we’ve gone ahead and picked the absolute best, and ranked them too. Things are getting romantic at the minute, but we’ve got it all on this list; heartbreak tunes, the occasional bit of yearning, and (mostly) a bunch of lovey-dovey, feel-good tunes that celebrate all things lovin’.  What is the number one love song of all time? Rumour has it that the best selling love song of all time is Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You.’ No surprise there. It’s a banger. And yes, we’ve got it on our list, but controversially we’ve got Dolly Parton’s version instead (fun fact: Dolly’s version was actually released first, Whitney’s was just more famous). Oh, and it’s not our number one either – for that, you’ll have to read on. Here are the best love songs ever written.  RECOMMENDED:🎙️ The best karaoke songs🎉 The best party songs🕺 The best pop songs of all time💔 The best breakup songs This guide was updated by NYC-based arts and culture journalist Alessandra Schade.

On March 25, 1925, at London’s Selfridges department store in central London, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird made the first public demo of his latest creation: a way to broadcast visual information from a camera to a screen. A full century later, Baird’s discovery has led to perhaps the most vital, creative and popular mode of artistic expression in the entire world. But it’s only in the past 25 years that television has really fulfilled its artistic potential.  The result has been the so-called ‘Golden Age of Television’, a boom kickstarted roughly around the turn of the century with the rise of shows like The Sopranos and later Breaking Bad, and continuing with awards-winners from Succession to Shōgun to Slow Horses. So while our list of the 100 greatest TV shows may pay tribute to the unmissable programs of yesteryear, you’ll find that the majority hail from our own century – meaning there’s no excuse not to watch every single one. Paring the list down to only 100 was a painful process, so we decided to omit sketch shows, talk shows, news and non-fiction in order to focus on scripted drama and classic comedy. Time to go goggle-eyed.

Here at Time Out, we really believe locals know best. It’s easy to find out about a city’s biggest attractions, but if you want to really get to know somewhere, you’re going to want to know its secrets; the hidden bars, the tiny galleries, the family-run restaurants that don’t take bookings. The stuff you’ll brag to your pals about for years to come. So that’s where we come in. We have a huge network of writers based all over the world, and every one of them is obsessed with finding and trying out the latest in food and drink, culture and more in their cities. When a local has just worked on one of our city guides, that’s when it’s at its absolute freshest. And that’s what you’ll find here on this page. These guides are brand-new, fresh-off-the-press, and stuffed full of new openings in our favourite cities, all over the world. If you’re looking for holiday inspo, start here. Enjoy! 🔥 We update this list every time a local adds some brand-new hotspots to one of our travel guides, so make sure to come back for more!

For Christmas of 2014, an antichrist was born. It expanded to over a metre long and was made from a cheap mix of plastic and metal. On one end, it had a simple clip at the end to attach your horizontal phone; on the other, a Bluetooth button to press with your thumb. Its name was the selfie stick, and it was ready to stretch our collective patience to breaking point. The selfie stick’s schtick was simple. For the first time in the history of humanity, you could take photos of yourself from a distance, without having to do the embarrassing dance of asking someone else or hyper-extending your arm to the point of tendon damage. Tourists could suddenly capture their every move. And you could barely move, as a tourist, without nearly being knocked in the face by one. It became the biggest craze of the festive season, with Amazon UK selling 301 percent more of them between September and November ahead of Christmas. When the big day arrived, millions of people across the world unwrapped the gadget, wielding it at office parties, tourist hotspots and NYE bashes.  Photograph: schankz / Shutterstock Technically, the ‘multi-axis omni-directional shooting extender’ wasn’t a totally novel invention. In the 1979 Czechoslovak sci-fi film I Killed Einstein, Gentleman, a character holds a sort-of selfie stick aloft. Then, in 1983, Ueda Hiroshi and Mimia Yujiro patented a telescopic pole for compact cameras. And in 1995, another kind-of selfie stick was featured in 101 Un-Useless Japanese...

Great movies matter. Movies have the capacity to sharpen our understanding of the world. They take us places we’d otherwise never go, and introduce us to people we’d otherwise never meet. Or they reflect our own lives back at us, and help us understand ourselves a little better. They simply allow us to place reality on pause for a few hours, which, in this day and age, should not be discounted. Thankfully, there are signs that movies still do matter, even for a generation that’s grown up watching them mostly through the television, like Letterboxd, or the growing popularity of repertory cinemas. And that is ultimately what compels us to list the greatest films of all-time. It’s not to assert our own canon, or spark quibbles about snubs and arbitrary rankings. It’s because new film fans are still being born every day, and need a place to start. So consider this a road map. Looking for something specific? Here are our favourite movies by genre: 🤣 The best comedy movies of all-time😱 The best horror movies of all-time😍 The best romcoms of all-time😬 The best thriller movies of all-time👽 The best sci-fi movies of all-time💣 The best action movies of all-time✍ The best animated movies of all-time🦄 The best fantasy movies of all-time💏 The best romantic movies of all-time🪖 The best war films of all-time How we chose our 100 best movies of all time Admittedly, the process is not an exact science.

It doesn’t need to be Valentine’s Day to throw a romantic movie on Netflix. Romance, after all, knows no calendar. Maybe you need some pointers on how to reel in your new crush. Maybe you’ve successfully snared them and now you’re looking to move to the next level. Or maybe your heart just got ripped out of your chest and flushed down the toilet, and you need a reminder that everything will eventually be all right. Or perhaps you just want to wallow in your heartbreak. Whichever is the case, if you’re in the mood for love, these romantic films are currently streaming on Netflix, and are sure to get you feeling twitterpated.  Recommended:  😍 The 100 best romantic films of all time🥰 The greatest romantic comedies of all time😳 The 101 best sex scenes of all time

 The perfect month for a holiday? Potentially. Balmy weather, less crowds, and not-yet-insane prices like you’ll get later on. We’ve compiled a collection of the best places to travel in June, although there is no such thing as a bad choice. How do the islands of Portugal, the seascape of Seattle and the beaches of Fiji sound? (You don’t need to answer that).  What is the cheapest city to visit in June? June is pretty much an ideal time for any kind of holiday, before peak summer holiday season but after the sea has warmed up a bit. Our number one cheapest holiday destination is, for the second year running, Tirana in Albania, where an Airbnb will cost you around £40 a night and you can get a pint for less than £3. You’ll find Albania and a whole lot more brilliant places to visit in our list below.  RECOMMENDED:🏖️ The best places to travel in July🌞 The best places to travel in August 🌍 The best things to do in the world🌆 The best cities in the world Ella Doyle is Time Out’s travel guides editor. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.
