I recorded this while people were pogo-dancing around me... that’s why the video is soo short.... but totally recommend this gig.
The noisiest experience in my life! EVER!
There were free earplugs for the audience at the entrance of the Roundhouse... A MUST.

You can download the video from the link above... YouTube was banning the video the two times I tried... :/

...and below a couple of Kevin Shields pictures I took.

Is time for Cocomaya, ladies and gentleman!... A must-stop for art and fashion conscious chocolate lovers...

Alex, my business partner just arrived from Miami and she wants to share with you all her food and libations TOP-10...

Thanks Alex!

·························

1. BEST CAFÉ CON LECHE: Versailles on Little Havana, while there try the warm cheese and guava pastry, so addictive! (had 3 non-stop, who cares about summer coming up)

2. BEST MEXICAN: new Rosa Mexicano in posh Brickell area, yes its a scene- avoid it during happy hour- but must try the chicken flautas and tortilla soup, órale!

3. BEST VENEZUELAN BREAKFAST: tiny European Bakery on Sunset Blvd...the best desayuno criollo in town (black beans, eggs, shredded cheese and hand made arepa)

4. BEST NON-STOP HARASSING MEAT FEAST: Porçao on Brickell area...don't go if you have heart problems, on a diet or can't take a 3 hour rodizio meal, ask for the picanha, best Brazilian meat.

5. BEST CUBAN SANDWICH: Sergio's on Coral Way...they called it “vaca frita” (fried cow) so yummy and comes with homemade yuca sticks.

6. BEST BURGER: Houston's on Aventura (humongous size, need a bigger mouth just to eat it, yep i ate it all!

7. BEST JUICES: El Palacio de la Fruta on Little Havana....so cheesy, so local, so juicy....try the papaya all natural juice or take home the 1QT exotic fruit salad, una bomba!

8. BEST DINER: yes, we love Jimmy's, so cheap and mix of clientele: policemen, travesties, senior citizens, old-style families, secret lovers, love it! Try the 3 layer banana pancake..hmmm hmmm

9. BEST EDAMAME EVER: Domo Japones on Miami Design District..yes, it's hip and NY pretentious but believe us... the best sauté black edamame with sweet soy and yuzu...

10. BEST BEAR HANGOUT: The Abbey on Miami Beach....a joint, ask for the local organic brewery ones...don't tell “tourists” though, will spoil it and bring white lounge sofas and house music.

**ta-ta! or Miami Cuban slang “ya tu sabes”....
Thanks to my sister's big belly sponsorship*



Note: I know that this picture has nothing to do with the TOP-10... except that it was taken long time ago in Miami... but I wanted to use it anyway.

Alex is back from Miami and she wants to share a breakfast recommendation with a disco fever touch:

After a well deserved holiday...while in sunny Miami (not really, it rained almost every day), found the best local spot in the new Upper East Side hood. If tired of the Miami see-&-be-seen ambiance, just stop at Jimmy´s Eastside Diner on 7201 Biscayne Blvd...a true old fashioned diner experience, and wait gets better...Bee Gees brothers used to have breakfast there almost everyday! (our little secret..shhh)..checkout for the entrance memorabilia, so fun.

Selected as Resident Editors for the new upcoming Barcelona guide; the best food, shops, hotels, spas and more...check the website for the new guide, available in May 2008

Yes, I love Berlin, the city effervescence, the people, everything. Give it a chance!
