Loved the article! Thanks for posting. Does this particular writer do a series on $100 weekends for the NY Times?

I was very excited when I read the article because a very close friend owns the bar "Pozo Real", mentioned in the piece. He also owns "La Zapateria" which was featured on Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods". It can't hurt during the "crisis".

Mongo,

Do you know Andrew Zimmern by any chance? Since he's from Minneapolis, too.

A little deceiving because accommodation cost was free- at a friend's apt. I'm not sure it was appealing to reader's of NY Times!
I can do thart kind of weekend for much less!
