Hackney à la Mode

...the bot also liked a tipple! Often hitting the city's finest bars after dark for an automated cocktail. And although it would occasionally have one too many, it was always up in time for breakfast. Goodbye Hackney à la Mode & and thanks to all your followers! Cheers 🍻

...Hackney à la Mode could even reply with custom suggestions for a range of individual diets & desires, helping and engaging Twitter users across the capital's most hip neighbourhoods...

Despite being 100% automated, the bot was never short of original recommendations and reviews, with a keen taste for the flavours of tomorrow...

Since 2017, the bot ‘visited’ countless restaurants, cafés, and bars across the city. The addresses for many can be seen in this heatmap, since each Tweet was geo-located to the precise (fictional) venue. Just in case a hungry user was nearby!

After many years spent roaming the streets of London, Hackney à la Mode must finally say goodbye! Recent changes to Twitter have sadly brought an end to this most trusted & authentic source of culinary trends and hotspots.
