...have not kept him from becoming one of Spain's most promising young toreros. Two Sundays ago, he was again demonstrating the skills that have earned the 20-year-old a devoted following since his debut in March 2005. This time, he opted to meet his first opponent - a reddish-brown half-tonner - on his knees, thrilling the audience at Las Ventas, the world's most prestigious bullring, with his bravery. But courage isn't the only notable aspect of Savalli's career. He is, as one newspaper dubbed him, the first "Muslim Matador." And as he worked the bulls...
...show. Its crowded “stage” —a loosely defined floor space bordered on three sides by meager seating and obstructive structural pillars—necessitates a close proximity between performer and audience. The décor is comfortable and loungy, with soft reddish light and red velvet curtains softening the stage. Perhaps the greatest draw to the Lizard, however, is free live music from 7:30-9:30pm on Tuesday through Friday.

Johnny D’s has the aforementioned nice bar, carpeting, groovy reddish lighting, and a comparatively large stage for the musicians to groove around on. There’s relatively little room to dance (one of the Cantab’s great strengths) but seating is cozy and comfortable, in the form of a bunch of booths and tables oriented toward the stage...
...Sistine right with the first layer of color on each. The Serpent coiled around the tree in the Temptation of Adam and Eve, for instance, far from being the more or less monochrome reptile of old, reveals the most delicate complexities of feathered stroking in green and yellow over reddish tones of shadow. The slow drying of the intonaco gave Michelangelo all the time he needed to correct his shadows without having to use the washes of black pigment and glue size that the critics believe to be his handiwork. And because his retouching was chemically integrated with the plaster...
