Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Vegetarian Londoners, not to mention their omnivorous dining partners, should be in heaven at the new meat-free restaurant Tibits. Opening next month, it prides itself on being flesh-eater friendly – 90 per cent of diners at its original Zurich branch aren't veggie – yet its leafy credentials are second to none; behind the venture are Marielle and Rolf Hiltl, scions of Europe's first vegetarian restaurant, Hiltl, founded in 1898.

Also in London, another, albeit very different, concept restaurant opens at the scientific altar of the Royal Institute. Part of a £22m RI upgrade, Time & Space at the RI fittingly features molecular gastronomy on its Anton Edelmann menu, and you can book your dinner to fit in with a discourse in the Faraday lecture theatre.

Not enough molecularisation? Hottest ticket right now is for an event at London's Southbank hosted by the godfather of the art, Ferran Adrià of Spain's El Bulli restaurant. It's not until November, but the NYC version sold out in two hours, so get in quick.
