"Numerous writers, artists and celebrities were regulars of the Bodeguita : the poet Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gabriela Mistral, Agustín Lara, Nat King Cole, Nicolás Guillén, Julio Cortázar, Joan Manuel Serrat, Margaux Hemingway and Salvador Allende. Ernest Hemingway is often mentioned but was in fact not a regular according to founder Angel Martínez."

strolled through Union Square market yesterday. Picked up some new cacti to replace the ones that recently passed (I can add cacti killer to my list of murdered deceased plants).
