Hi MadridMan. Since you are a great source of information, I thought you should know that this Sundays New York Times Travel Magazine Supplement has a feature article on Madrid, calling it Spain's coolest city. It has hotel, dining, club and shopping recommendations. If anyone who is reading this is travelling to Madrid, it is another source of information...

joycenj, thanks so much for posting this! I went and bought a New York Times today so that I could read the article. Some of the places it mentions are a bit touristy/pricy, but I love reading the recommendations for ideas for my next trip (whenever that may be!). And, the little cultural tidbits, such as the movies filmed in Madrid, were delightful.

Thought I would paste the link for anyone who wanted to read it...
