☆ For an Unbeatable Music Scene, Head to Havana
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Tony Perrottet | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
IN TEMPO Dancers in the open-air ballroom at Los Jardines de la Tropical, one of Havana’s legendary music venues from the 1920s and ’30s. Illustration: Cookie Moon“ARE YOU sure it’s here?” the taxi driver asked doubtfully as he navigated his 1952 Chevrolet along a dark road in Puentes Grandes, a vibrant neighborhood in Havana. But all at once two stone pillars and an iron gate emblazoned with the words, Los Jardines de la Tropical, appeared, signaling the entrance to Cuba’s most fantastical nightlife venue, the Tropical Gardens. We could hear the sound of the music coming alive.

Among the most illuminating ways travelers can explore the Eternal City’s kaleidoscopic history is through its illustrious hotels. Each palatial structure is part of the modern city’s fabric but also embodies a specific moment in time. And thanks to the welcoming Roman manner, even non-guests can stop in for a coffee or aperitif while taking in the old-world ambience. A brief sojourn to these grand getaways provides a peek into Rome’s history and allows visitors to sample cultural riches along the way. Mosaics from the exedra, or changing hall, have been preserved, and history buffs can hire the hotel’s archaeologist-guide for insights.
☆ El Quijote—a Kitsch Masterpiece—Is Open Again in Manhattan’s Hotel Chelsea
  + stars: | 2022-09-29 | by ( Tony Perrottet | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
For the Time Capsule series, we spotlight a cherished restaurant, hotel or landmark that’s changed remarkably little over the years. This week, we visit El Quijote at Hotel Chelsea in New York City. THENIN THE 1930s, exiles from the Spanish Civil War, living in New York, leased the Hotel Chelsea Restaurant, an eatery inside the decades-old apartment-hotel and artists’ cooperative on 23rd Street. They renamed the space after Don Quixote, a nod to the hotel’s literary cachet and created a fantasy shrine to their homeland. The 200-seat El Quijote also had a door next to the Chelsea’s lobby, luring guests like Arthur Miller and Dylan Thomas with hearty portions of Spanish fare served by waiters in scarlet blazers.
