I’ve sometimes said that Antigua needs a good Elvis impersonator….’got my wish tonight, in the form of Simon Krebs by way of Dusseldorf… yeah, Germany…passing thru, leaves tomorrow, did a little interview for some kinda book thing with me at La Taverna…and his brochure read something about doing Elvis songs…he burst into song…’Are you lonely tonight?’ and I knew then….Bobby D and Gracies’ second to last gig tonight, at Kafka…yep…that and ‘All Shook up’…great! Nelson and new (I assume) lady on hand..she’s cute..
La Morena! Shaun’s latest in the O’lot patio…most excellent art work and also most excellent is Marianna, last of Frida’s…she says she’s La Morena (ok with me)..grand opening Thursday at 10, altho one can go by earlier (and pay for the drinks).
Semana Santa’s economic boost not felt equally amongst restaurants/bars…Fusion reporting great $$, other’s complaining…so? so what? get a better product/service…finally ate at Fiesta Mexicana, that new place on 5th avenida….Frida’s has ’em beat…por ejemplo: tacos are served usually hard shell or soft….not, repeat, not raw corn tortillas…for an owner who’s from Tapachula, one would expect better….and also? no Negro Modelo beer? where the hell is Edwin the Liquor/Beer King? go b\y and sell him a short count case of NM, please? o thats right…’no repeat customers’
Bobby D and Gracies last duet show tomorrow night…Ocelot, 9pm…she’s going back, he’s staying for a while..
heard that Travel Menu is ripped up per changes/expansion…some grumbleing per details of the transaction, but that’s Antigua, baby…and it wouldnt’ surprise me if Los Tres Tiempos cuts back their breakfast hours to weekends only(no business)…Jardin Bavaria offering breakfast, but probably only for Semana Santa..
Our Man in Antigua
