Barney Greengrass
March 10, 2008
Stereotypical New York waiters, amazing smoked fish, and surprisingly good coffee add up to one of the best breakfast experiences on the planet at Barney Greengrass. The self-proclaimed sturgeon king has been serving New Yorkers on the Upper Westside since 1908. Start your day with the combo: Nova Scotia Lox and Sturgeon—a delicious white fish that perfectly complements the salmon. It comes with scrambled eggs and a toasted bialy (sort of like a bagel, but better). Thanks to Barney, you’ll pack enough protein in yourself for a whole weekend of partying down.
World Music Theatre Festival

Until March 16 the sixth edition of the World Music Theatre Festival (WMTF) will take place. The WMTF will bring performances from Japan, New Zealand, Venezuela, South Africa, Taiwan and from New York to our capital. You can enjoy these performances together with lectures, films and workshops. I say there’s nothing better to bring some colour to these last grey days of winter than music from around the globe!

Café George
March 10, 2008
If you’re tired of getting a side of hip and trendy with every meal, you might want to have dinner at Cafe George. This down to earth brasserie serves tasty simple food. The interior of the café is down to earth too, yet George attracts a huge and divers crowd. With their non-reservation policy there might not be a table available all the time, but it’s worth the wait!

Joaquín Cortés
March 10, 2008
Joaquín Cortés, devilishly handsome and dressed by Jean Paul Gaultier, indulges in a frenetic show of foot-stamping, sweat-spurting, shamelessly attention-seeking flamenco dance with interludes of rapturous applause from the audience. With his private clan of musicians and singers to frame him, JC attains new heights in Latino kitch in this highly theatrical performance entitled Mi Soledad (My Solitude). Leave your boyfriend at home. O-lé. Tickets are €20-€58

Milk

Chic and unpretentious, Irish-owned bar/bistro Milk has the best Sunday brunch in town and a nightly happy hour from 7pm until 9pm, when you can get an elegant cosmopolitan double the size of anywhere else in town for half the price. Ideal for that first date. Soulful music and toilet walls lined with comic strips complete the experience.

Alicia Keys
March 10, 2008
Wallet? Keys? Hopes and Dreams?
She’s hot, intelligent AND she can sing? These three virtues, rarely experienced together (however much they try to make us believe it), intermingle and explode in the lovely Alicia Keys. Go and hear her in action on March 16th. The venue is Pavelló Olímpic de Badalona (Barcelona) NB. This is NOT the Olympic stadium on Montjuïc, but a 12,500-seater basketball stadium slightly out of town. The show starts at 9pm and you have the added pleasure of getting out at a Metro station called Gorg.

Tickets: €48-€58
Wushu
March 10, 2008
Wushu has a wok and knows how to use it. In fact, this restaurant knew how to use it so well, whipping up a range of Asian treats (pad Thai, lo mein and laksa) and sending them tumbling in generous potions into mammoth plates, that queues began to form. Now in bigger but no less lovely premises, Wushu offers good Asian grub rarely found in Barcelona, courtesy of expert Aussie chef Bradley Ainsworth.
Kitchen open Tue-Sun, 1pm-4.30; 7pm-11pm
