...in the last five or so years then you will not recognize the new London. Central London (Soho, Picadilly, Shaftsbury avenue, Leicester Sq, Tottenham Ct Rd, Oxford Circus etc) is buzzing and the atmosphere is very European ~ the streets are vibrant & exciting ~ packed out pubs, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, shows, theatres and wine bars, not just the weekends but also weekdays. London offers diversity & its nightlife is right up there with the other top European cities, attracting more & more people to its trendy & vibrant streets, where you can enjoy and soak up atmosphere until the early hours of the morning.
One of the more exclusive venues in central London is CaféDe Paris ~ this venue has been around since 1924 & is still rocking in 2002. Having survived the War & all the changes that came with it, CaféDe Paris has an amazing & glitzy...

Advantages: Convenient location and good food Disadvantages: Confused orders, they pack you in
...The Bad Ass Café is an American diner style restaurant famous for its burgers and its high profile rock star connections. Apparently the establishment was visited by none other than the great Bruce Springsteen (Sinead O'Connor also worked there as a struggling musician...but I don't like her as much!) and it is easy to see why (referring to Bruce, not my dislike of Sinead!). Unusual features include the colourful, animal themed (if that's what you call a smoking dog in a detective's outfit) menus...for adults, an open kitchen (always good to see), and what, without the technical terminology, I'm going to call a 'rapid-fire, gravity and pulley driven, order delivery system'. This is basically long cables leading from a raised seating area at the back of the café to the bar area. Any orders taken from those tables result in the staff...

...This has to be one of the must-go places in Buenos Aires. I went to it on my last day and I have to say that it did not disappoint. There are lots of things that make this an easy, ideal and interesting restaurant/cafe to visit.
GETTING THERE: Located on Avenida de Mayo 825 between the streets of Tacuari and Piedras. This beautiful cafe is easily accessible from the subte (underground) stations of both 'Plaza Mayo' and 'Av. de 9 Julio'. It's location make it perfect as a lunch stop following sight seeing in La Boca, San Telmo or around Plaza Mayo. If you are further afield, take the subte or any of the numerous buses thatl pass it- just ask locals,as listing all of them would take all day.
HISTORY: Established in 1858, Cafe Tortoni is the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires. There are many reasons to visit and one of them is the fact...

The Pasado Belen Museo Inn was the nicest hotel that I stayed in during my Central America tour. The hotel is owned and run by a wonderful married couple Francesca and René. Francesca, Rafael and the rest of the staff there, made me feel welcome from... more
We had this machine about a year. Like the previous review, I agree it makes a pretty good cup of coffee - particularly a good crema and in just a few minutes - . You will definitely need to preheat the filter holder before making coffee otherwise it... more
