This stylish Euro-style late-night dance club in the hot River West entertainment hub recently hosted a birthday party for Playboy patriarch Hugh Hefner. Waiting staff wear white evening jackets adorned with gold fleur-de-lys, while six-foot-tall Eiffel Towers flank the dance floor. There are also authentic French details, however. The owners make monthly trips to Paris and bring back furniture, art, music and ideas for hip drinks. Sit in the inviting deep couches, tucked away in balconies and private booths and listen to DJs spin European-influenced ‘energy trance’.

Eutopia
24 07 2009This recently opened bookstore brims with out-of-print treasures just steps from bustling Lincoln Road. Eutopia has a fiction section full of honest-to-gosh literature rather than the romance paperbacks that clog several other used bookstores around town. There’s also a Florida nook, where you can snag all kinds of hard-to-find goodies on life in Miami, including several bound volumes of congressional testimony about 1950s FBI investigations into commie subversion in South Florida. Just the kind of historical curio that makes browsing the shelves of Eutopia a joy.

The Villa dei Quintili
10 07 2009In this season of restructuring and reopening, a particularly interesting addition to the city’s cultural scene is the Villa dei Quintili – one of the largest suburban patrician homes in the ancient city. The recent excavations have uncovered many rooms within the villa complex, as well as exquisite decorations and artefacts, many are on display in situ, including an impressive statue of Zeus seated. Just the place to pick up some interior design tips, imperial Roman style. Booking is essential.

Photoespaña 2000
11 06 2009This, the third edition of Photoespaña, is a massive event and a must for lovers of photography. Comprising more than 70 simultaneous exhibitions, Photoespaña 2000, as in previous editions, is centred on the eight-kilometre Castellana, the wide boulevard running between Atocha station and Plaza de Castilla. Thirty-two of the shows make up the official section with the common theme of ‘frontiers’, the borders that define cultures, different artistic languages and the mutations implicit in processes such as globalisation. The other section, centred mainly on private galleries, is more diverse.
