Uptown for Dragobete

If you want to eat some great food in a spectacular place, you can go to a fancy, cosmopolitan, sophisticated restaurant, called Uptown.
Situated in one of the oldest and most exclusive areas of Bucharest, Uptown is much more than a restaurant- it's a reflection of Bucharest's modern society.
Its location is amazing- a house from the inter-war period situated at the crossing of 4 streets, in a central but peacefully area, in an obvious opposition with the city's agitation. A place to run from the unchained world so you could have a relaxed, sophisticated dinner.
Its pleasant atmosphere along with the inner design reminding you of the stylish Parisian bistros make uptown one of the favorite places for the foreign business men visiting Romania.
The perfect place for a business lunch but also for a romantic dinner, Uptown reveals the modern (city of) Bucharest: discreet and alert in the same time, romantic and agitated.
Uptown has a wonderful ambience, has the perfect background "music" of the chatter of happy dinners which lends a warmth and buzz to the place. You can find it at 2 Rabat st., Bucharest. You must try some pasta and the mango mousse is a must for desert!

Sweeney Todd- Bloody Good

I invite you to see a movie from the Gothic imagination of director Tim Burton and starring the amazing Johnny Depp. "Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber on Fleet Street" is a bloody tale of murder, music, meat pies and one's man desperate desire for revenge. At is heart, " Sweeney Todd" is a horror musical. It is also a riveting character drama and a wonderful dark comedy. But above everything else, it is pure entertainment.It was bloody, disturbing, gruesome...and I loved every minute of it! Deep makes a awesome Sweeney but I think Helena Bonham Carter is my favorite performance in this film, she is very funny and makes the character her own! Go in to the theater with an open mind and embrace the story. This is an amazing film and I recommend it to every one (except to people who have week stomachs)!
You may see it today at:
- Cityplex- 17:30; 22:15;
-Hollywood Multiplex- 17:45; 22:45;

Searching for the real bread

I've been looking for a bread that tastes likes real, traditional bread. Don't get me wrong. I like pain aux noix or granary bread once in a while, but for my everyday meal I would like some fresh bread with just the right aroma, texture and taste. Eating the crunchy crust of a hot bread
remembers me of my childhood. So I searched a while for a bread that resembled the most to my memories. Even if I couldn't find it in a bakery so I can enjoy it while is still hot, yesterday I found a delicious bread at La Fourmi Supermarket.
It's called pane casareccio, or "country bread", - large in size, round or oblong in form. Made of whole wheat flour, the ingredients are no more than water and natural yeast.
The crust is not very crunchy, but the taste enriches the flavor of the food. I'll keep looking for the perfect one!

Historic memories

A single object tells tens of history pages, stories about real people, and a museum is the crossroad of stories.Founded in 1970, the History National Museum illustrates the history of Romania from the Paleolithic to the modern age. The main departments of the museum are: prehistoric, Dacian, Greek, Roman and medieval archaeology.The permanent displays include a plaster cast of the entirety of Traian's Column, the Romanian Crown Jewels , and the Pietroasele Tresure. You will be surprised by our ancestor' s level of civilization. Another interesting thing is the mixture between Dacian and Roman influences. As you pass by Dacian and Roman collections and you are focusing on the medieval exponents, you feel that everything makes sense. You are an actor on a good play, not in a parody with cast from 2 different movies badly directed. Don't miss a rare opportunity to be proud that you live in Romania. Calea Victoriei 12, Bucharest. Wednesday-Sunday from 9-17.
