...time when the bloody ritual that was once Spain's "national fiesta" has come under increased scrutiny, it would be easy to read this absence as another sign that bullfighting is in trouble. In 2004, Barcelona declared itself "an anti-bullfighting city," and earlier this year an animal-protection law prohibiting new bullrings went into effect throughout the entire northeastern region of Catalonia. To prevent future generations from embracing the sport, the law also made bullfights R-rated: children under 14 can no longer attend the spectacles...
...flags from across the world hung limply on the walls of Adams dining hall, making a sharp contrast with the dark-stained mahogany columns and gilded chandeliers.

It's all of a serviceable standard, but Fiesta's young, cosmopolitan atmosphere, the weekend DJ nights and the opportunities for people watching through expansive windows overlooking colorful Uritskogo Street-one of the city's main shopping drags-add plenty of seasoning. An added bonus is Arbatskii Dvorik, the cozy restaurant located upstairs from the café, which is named after the Arbat, a famous street in Moscow. As well as English menus, you'll find some decent wines there-a big plus...
