Cafe Exedra

[QUOTE=Aqualung]According to my informers;)

The idea is another Rond Point style coffee shop aimed more at the Argentine business man, the local Jet Set and high class tourists than at the mongering crowd. This does not necessarily exclude girls but it will set a standard for the quality of the girls. Models and so on!

This means the upping of everything from cutlery to tables and chairs. This is why they have auctioned off all the old stuff.

Someone who has spent 1.3 million on a bar isn't going to worry about spending another hundred grand or two!

We'll see how much of this is true[/QUOTE]Too bad. It looks like Exedra in name, and otherwise, is history. Thanks Aqualung for a little clearer picture on this hazy day.:)

I was at Iberia and saw the waiter Caesar, from Exedra. He was drunk, and the manager of Iberia was kicking him out.

I ask him what going on with Exedra, he did not know, then I ask him if they gave him a big payout when they closed Exedra. He said he got nothing. He was drunk, so it hard to know, but he said nothing. He worked at Exedra a long time.

Here are a few photos, lest we forget.

Thank You WT69

What beautful memories we all have of Excedra it almost make's me cry.

I walked by there a few weeks back. They had the door facing Cordoba propped open. I looked in and the place was fully gutted. It looked like they took a jackhammer to the walls and the posts.

More than likely it was just one guy with a hammer beating on it for a month.

Will rent out the place.

Maybe a bank or something else, getting ROI.

Sold for 3,400 square meters at 30usd / each.

Let us be lucky to have "Exedra" in our memories and fuck the idiot (son of the owner) who sold our "oasis de alegria".

The latest that I have is that they are set to re-open on Dec. 5th. 2008.

It is gutted at this moment and your probably correct in assuming that one guy with a hammer did it all!

3rd. World Wrecking Crew!

They had been unable to locate the main gas line until recently. Buried somewhere in the basement and maybe made of something that is not metalic so metal detectors could not locate it. ()

That's what I heard from the shoe-shine guy.

The chicas that I talked to yesterday told me that they are planning to return but for now they remain standing by my closed and dusty front door!

There is a new, super hot, young street walker that hangs near X from about 6 p on.

5'7, dark hair, tan, very sexy Paraguayan type!

Too nice for the street boys!

See Ya,

Need to contact a Polish blonde, Monica, who park herself most afternoons at the cafe, always sitting along. She was very nice to me from the get go and I saw her 3 times in 3 trips. The last session, she just about attack me. My contact # was lost together with a Spanish dictionary in Chile, I believe.

Here are a few shots of what it looks like now.

You can only get three fingers inside a bowling ball.

So is this reopened?

[QUOTE=Md2000]So is this reopened?[/QUOTE]I heard today that by the end of the year it will re-open.

I did notice that the entire fascade of the old Excedra has been removed and that the new face matches the entire building's architectural style.

More than likely at the city's request.

TL.

P. S - A LOT more likely that X will re-open than Lálliance! Damn it!

Does anyone have the latest 411 on what's going on at the Exedra site?

I'm planning a trip in October and it would be nice to have a local gathering place to meet up with like minded mongers plus the local talent to choose from. Ah the good old days.
