Lady Madonna Address: Calle Orellana, 6, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: cozy, warm lights, intimate. Very “clean” feeling, if that makes sense. There is also a terrace, but it was raining when I was there, so not sure what it’s like. Looked nice, though. Type of food: “small plates, big (ish) prices” is how I would describe […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Ojala
I have heard a bunch of people talking about “the bar with the beach” so I was excited to try this place with two friends! I didn’t love the “beach” part, but the upstairs is light and bright and the food is delicious!! Ojala Address: Calle de San Andrés, 1, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: there are […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Ginos
I went to Ginos a few months ago for a friend’s birthday. She wanted Italian, so without any better ideas, this is where we ended up! Ginos Address: Various locations. Atmosphere: It’s a chain (a franchise?) so each location is different. It’s a nice place, but has that “TGI Fridays” canned feel. Type of food: […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Taxi a Manhattan
Taxi a Manhattan Address: Calle de la Basílica, 17, 28020 Madrid Atmosphere: like a taxi? Like New York? Not sure how to describe it. It has a “cool” vibe inside the restaurant. Not too fancy, but not too casual. I went on a cold night, but there is a terrace that looks like it would […]

Perrachica Address: Calle Eloy Gonzalo, 10, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: like a really nice hotel lobby. Seriously! That’s what I thought when I went.

Restaurants in Madrid: Bosco de Lobo
Bosco de Lobo Address: Calle de Hortaleza, 63, 28004 Madrid (it’s easy to miss. Look for the ) Atmosphere: I LOVED the design of this restaurant.

Restaurants in Madrid: Amargo
I first heard about Amargo from my roommate, Rachel, who has a coworker that continuosly raved about the burgers. Then she went and came home raving about the burgers. And thennnn, I went with my mom (on a Saturday, with no reservation, but got lucky and got a table!) and have been raving to the […]
Friday Five: Difference in Customs in Madrid and Philadelphia/ the U.S.
**Not customs at the airport! Not aduanas. Hi!!! I am so happy it’s Friday! Actually, in general, I am just so happy. This week was really, really, really, really, (really) good! I think the rise in temps and sunshine has something to do with it. And fresh produce… I have been spending more time outside, […]
Weekend. And 7 Things You SHOULD Purchase and 6 Things You SHOULD NOT Purchase at Primark.
Buenas noches! How was your weekend? My weekend was so good. Too good, which is why it was over so quickly and now it’s Monday. What? But Monday is over, so I’m happy about that too. I don’t have much to share so I thought I would throw my measly weekend pics into this stupid […]
