here's one of the most irresistible - a bar called Dante.
This Greenwich Village Italian-style aperitivo bar has just claimed the Perrier-sponsored World's Best Bar Award,
jumping eight places from 2018, MailOnline Travel can exclusively reveal.
The gong was handed out at London's Roundhouse tonight as part

Legendary Australian author John Marsden has died at
the age of 74.
Marsden, known for his best-selling Tomorrow book series, won several major
awards for children's and adult fiction - including the Lloyd O'Neil
Award for contributions to Australian publishing in 2006.
He wrote more than 40 books across multiple genres but made waves
in the young adult category with Tomorrow, When the War Began.
The book followed a hypothetical war in which Australia was invaded and went on to inspire a movie
and TV series.
The novel and six following additions were praised by Marsden's
publisher, Pan Macmillan Australia, as 'the best series for
Australian teens of all time'.
Marsden was also well-known in the education community after serving as principal at two schools in regional Victoria.
In 2018, the author recalled his experiences at Candlebark, near Romsey, and Alice
Miller, in Macedon.
'Running a school is probably the most intense and
complicated job I've had in my life,' he told the ABC.
'The only thing I can compare it to is when I worked in the emergency department at Sydney Hospital when I
was about 19.
'...It's very important that young people get their hands dirty, both literally and metaphorically … There's a
lot of laughter. There's a lot of joking. There are a lot of serious conversations, too.'

Businessman and activist Simon Holmes à Court shared a tribute to Marsden in a touching post on X, formerly
Twitter, shortly after news broke of his passing on Wednesday evening.
'He was one of the standout teachers through my schooling —
in many ways similar to the character of
John Keating in Dead Poets Society,' he wrote.
'His 1st book So Much to Tell You was based on my year group —
many identifiable characters. A gift to our year!
'Complex man, but I'm so glad to have crossed paths.'
An OnlyFans model has been slammed for posting a satirical video during the devastating Hurricane Helene.
Set in Tampa, Florida, where millions braced for the superstorm's impact, Skyler Simpson aired her own take on the
event igniting a social media firestorm.
The video, posted on Instagram, shows her in a scandalous hot pink bikini mimicking
a newscaster while she holds a microphone and a ruined umbrella.
One user commented: 'Incredibly poor taste with this.
People have died. Or are seriously injured.
'Would you want to be in their shoes?' Another added:
'Disgusting, selling content while others are suffering.'

A post shared by Skyler Simpson (@skysky)
The September 28 video shows the black and
white patterned umbrella distorting itself as it catches
the hurricane-speed winds while the model falters in knee-deep water while she delivers a fake newscast.
As her 'news report' continues Simpson stands on Bayshore Boulevard while her
'cameramen' pelt her with various objects including ice cubes
and a banana peel, adding to the foolish nature of the clip.
As she finds her balance through the crashing waves along the flooded roadway, the model said:
'As you can see I think people got a little bit dramatic with how the weather was going to be
here.'
'I think it is a beautiful night here out on Bayshore, perfect for strolling with your family
and having a nice nighttime walk,' she added before nearly falling into the water.
Simpson fired back in the comments continually emphasizing the satirical nature of the content urging those angered by her video to 'feel free to unfollow.'

After roaring ashore in Florida, the weakened Hurricane Helene quickly moved through Georgia, then soaked the Carolinas and Tennessee with torrential rains
that flooded creeks and rivers.
States across the Southeastern U.S. have since started a massive cleanup and recovery effort on Sunday after winds, rain and storm
surges knocked out power for millions, destroying
roads and bridges in its path.
The devastation stretched along a string of east coast states as the
storm killed at least 130 people in South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia with officials fearing even more
bodies will be discovered.

Travis Kelce was all smiles ahead of the Chiefs'
final preseason game this summer, as he was put through his paces before the team's home game against the Bears.
The 34-year-old, tight end donned a full Kansas City red ensemble at Arrowhead with
other starters, including Patrick Mahomes, on Thursday, running routes and punting the pigskin.
But he didn't take the field for the game itself, as Chiefs
head coach Andy Reid confirmed on Monday.
As a matter of fact, neither did Mahomes.
'As far as the rotation goes for the Bears, I'll probably sit the starters
the way it looks right now, and we'll have the other
guys get out there and play,' Reid told reporters.
'We'll just see how that goes, repetition wise.'

Reid's words pointed to Kelce watching his teammates from the sidelines as the team tried to
win at least one preseason game (ahead of the fall.
However, in their last outing before the campaign gets underway a second-string
Chiefs outfit lost 34-21 to the Bears.
This summer, Kansas City has also lost to the Jaguars in Jacksonville and the Detroit Lions at home despite fans' lack of concern over
the team's recent performances.
The Chiefs blew a 16-0 lead at halftime to the Lions, last week, but Detroit's stunning comeback win went
under the radar due to the timing of the game in the calendar year.
Irv Smith Jr was the Chiefs' starting tight end against the
Bears on Thursday.
Patrick Mahomes was also confirmed to be out of the Chiefs' last preseason game this summer

Earlier this week, Kelce proved why he is a three-time Super Bowl champion to fans in a viral video of him sharing
a bit of his football knowledge to 'students' enrolled in his Tight
End University offseason program.
He also caught a behind-the-back pass from Mahomes in the Lions
game despite running the wrong route, as the quarterback claimed, in the loss
to the Lions.
Earlier this month, it was widely reported that Kelce bought a $31,000 gift to
his popstar girlfriend - Taylor Swift.
Adam Sander also confirmed that Kelce will appear in 'Happy Gilmore 2.'
