Tonight we're going for a Flamenco show at
Café de Chinitas - going with some friends visiting from the USA. We thought about having dinner there too but after calling they'd told us the dinner+show price was about 65 Euros PER PERSON!
Instead, we'll have some tapas elsewhere before the 10:15pm, 35-Euros-per-person show. Tomorrow, I'll give you a full report. (

Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday/Jueves Santo) I'm meeting a message board member at Restaurante La Sanabresa for lunch - location of MANY a MadridMan Lunch. Should be as good as usual. Will let you know.
Regarding
El Brillante, I guess I've been focusing more on the old city center than around Atocha lately. Some friends from Barcelona were visiting, NEVER having visited Madrid before, and they were anxious to go to the famed El Brillante for a bocadillo de calamares. I was surprised this place had Spain-wide/World-wide fame!!
Saludos, MadridMan
