Carbone/Playa Pacha
Social media is a hub of inspiration when it comes to things to do - whether it's inspiration for a dinner party you're throwing at home, a new pottery class in your city, or the best new eatery that you haven't discovered yet.
We're all guilty of it - scrolling through our TikTok FYPs liking every restaurant, destination, or activity video vowing we'll go - and then letting it disappear into the abyss and forgetting we ever saw it. Naturally, we're then riddled with FOMO two million views later when it's booked out for months in advance *cough* Tom's Pasta *cough*.
So that's it, we're holding you accountable.This is every location that's popped up on our FYP in October 2025 that you need to add to your list of plans - all in one place...
