A Gay Friendly, Art Friendly Casco Viejo in Panama

A new client recently asked me “Is Casco Viejo gay friendly?” For a moment I had to think about the question. You see, growing up as a ballet dancer I never even gave a thought to it. Continue reading

Quintessentially Extravaganza Party in Casco Antiguo

Last night most of Panama´s socialites (or our version of it anyways) gathered in Paseo Las Bovedas, to the launch party of Quintessentially. I have to say I was pretty impressed by the organization, especially in Panama! if you don´t know them yet, check out their website: http://www.quintessentially.com/index.php?lang=PA  It was a white linen extravaganza, so everyone had to show up in white.

The party started at the bouganvillea walk (Paseo … Continue reading

Drum Fest in Casco Viejo … and Jazz Fest coming up soon

For me, Panamanian drums are one of the best places to look for fusion between cultures. Why? because Panama is a complete blend between … Continue reading

Nightlife in Casco Viejo, Panama

One of the things I enjoy the most of living here is the fact that “going out” is as easy as walking to my favorite restaurant or bar. Somehow I realized there is no guide with all the contacts of Restaurants, Bars and other businesses in the Casco, so here it goes: Restaurants: Ego & Narciso: One beside the other at Plaza Bolivar. Wonderful peruvian tapas at Ego and very good italian food at Narciso. You can order from both, no problem! the owner is thinking on opening a third one in the same plaza… so coming soon!  262-2045 CasaBlanca: … Continue reading
