Pride Hollywood Cafe Buenos Aires

Sep 30 2010
Filed In: Buenos Aires, Restaurants

TweetPride Hollywood Cafe Buenos Aires • Pride Cafe opens its second venue in the city of Buenos Aires, this time Palermo Hollywood was the chosen location. Carlos Daniel Franco – owner – pioneered years ago with the original Pride Cafe at the bohemian neighborhood of San Telmo, becoming the first and only day gay-scene option of the city of Buenos Aires.
Opens daily from 09AM till 10PM, with a very reasonable priced menu, that includes multiple options and the classic sandwiches for which Pride Cafe had became famous.
My lunch choice this time was a light Smoked Salmon with Sun-Dried Tomatoes. With the beginning of the Summer Season 2010/11, Pride Hollywood Cafe will launch every Saturday their BRUNCH Chill Out afternoons (from 03PM till close) with live music by Brazilian DJ. Alex Follamman.
(*) Pride Hollywood Cafe is located over Humbolt 1897 ( corner with Costa Rica ). Tel. 4776-6197.

Carlos Melia next stops DUBAI and INDIA

Filed In: Carlos Melia

Tweet Carlos Melia next stops DUBAI and INDIA • ( OCT. 16th. – 22nd ) I will be visiting the DUBAI at the United Arab Emirates, invited by the Tourism Office of Dubai where I will be reviewing the destination, Emirates Airlines and the following hotels Al Bustan Rotana, Jumeirah Beack Resort. At this time I will also be conducting live interviews with: Robert Watson, Roger Bastoni and Lionel Lorans from Les Clefs d’Or, Aldo Giacomello from AMEX, Ibrahim Yaqoot – Executive Director of DTCM and Helen Konstantopolous from International Herald Tribune. Some of the plan activities by the Tourism Office of Dubai are Dubai City Tour, Desert Safari, Desert Camp Diner, Diner Cruise and visit to many other landmarks.

After this amazing week in Dubai, I will be off to INDIA (OCT. 22nd. to 31st), this time reviewing the areas of Mumbai, Deli, Udaipur and Jaipur. Reviewing the following hotels: Oberoi Hotel Mumbai, Leela Palace Kempinsky, Maurya Sheraton and Rambagh Palace.

So everyone stay tuned and follow my upcoming posts. As Julia Roberts says on her last movie Eat Pray Love, I got my 3 shots and vaccinations for Yellow Fever, Polio and Typhoid Fever. But HEY it is 100% worth it. BTW I want to congratulate the Indian Embassy in Argentina. They do an excellent work promoting the destination and making it very easy for tourists to get their VISAS set to travel. (it took me 15 minutes and 1 courtesy coffee to get my visa, which by the way is FREE). WAY TO GO. !!!!

(*) Special Thanks to Les Clefs d’Or Board of Directors for the invitation and the Dubai Tourism Office.
