Cool Bar: El Guapo

Run by italian dudes, El Guapo offers a different concept for the city. Indie music, great cocktails, international crowd.

Local's Favorite: El Social
http://www.facebook.com/elsocial1969
This is literally a grocery store where you can buy beer and yogurt. They have tables outside and people love to sit in this corner and hangout. It's a really cool vibe.

Bar: Zinco

Loved by some, hated by others, Zinco is an alternative for live [mostly local] music, cocktails and a crowd more local.

Hangout Spot: Parque Lleras
A square of madness, but an interesting meeting point.

Boutique Shop: Vintro
Made in Medellín by a local designer, Vintro is a cute store that sells notebooks, pens, note pads and all travel related things specially thought for me. hehe.

Food: Desayunadero La Niña Juani

A great place to taste some traditional breakfasts and food in general. Some say the best arepa de huevo is here.

Food: Empanadas El Machetico

The original empanadas paisas since 1985. Very simple concept, yet very tasty choice.

Restaurant: Carmen
http://www.carmenmedellin.com/
I had heard great things, but I thought the food was just ok. The restaurant experience was great though and Carmen is a new trendy spot in the heart of El Poblado.
