Italian Art, Hot Dogs in Santiago, Chile
Go check out the new exhibit Viaje al Arte Italiano at the Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda:
Open 10AM to 7:30PM every day, Ch$600. Not sure when it ends but you've got time. BTW, the Cybersyn exhibit, or at least some reduced form of it, is there till the end of the year.
I was pretty destroyed and starving when I stumbled outta there. Fortunately, Chile's actually been doing contemporary Italian art for quite a while. The following is a picture of an "Italiano", because of the red, green and a subtle splash of white:
In honor of the tri-colored flag of Italy I ate three.
Alternately you could have a "Completo" which is a hot-dog with diced tomatoes and sauerkraut. Last time, I said the best place to eat a completo in Santiago, Chile was "Bavaria" but it looks like the place is actually called Patagona. From La Moneda walk cross the Alameda and down Paseo Bulnes a few blocks it's on your left, tables outside.
On the right side of Paseo Bulnes you may find a place called the Tap Room. About a decade ago the Tap Room was a hot spot for Chilean high society. Now it's an ungodly coke den.
