Worse, the screenwriter (Aline Brosh McKenna) and the director (David Frankel) decide to show us Miranda's human side. She hates her "dragon lady" reputation, feels guilty over her several divorces and is eventually reduced to telling Andrea that she doesn...
Felix is the glam spot for a drink before dinner. It was designed by Philippe Starck and has the requisite men's bathroom with amazing views. The Peninsula Hotel, Salisbury Road, Kowloon...
