Hand Held/En las Manos

 




On April 11th 2013, I had the pleasure of attending the opening of Hand Held/En las manos at the General Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles. This event is brought to Los Angeles by the Consulate and the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Los Angeles (UNAM-LA) with the aim of sharing the cultural and academic talents of contemporary Mexico with the United States. Hand Held is latest in many exemplary events born from the partnership of these two institutions.Hand held/En las manos is the debut photographic exhibition of Alan Ayub Vidali.

Frida Mexican Cuisine (Español)

Frida Restaurante es la creación de Vicente Del Río, un originario del valle central de México. Al trasladarse a Los Ángeles, Vicente trajo consigo la auténtica cocina de su región de origen a Beverly Hills. A lo largo de los años, este restaurante se ha ganado un público fiel que llevó a Vicente a abrir un segundo Frida más grande en la Americana en Glendale. Su tercer restaurante está ubicado en Westwood conocida anteriormente como Casa Azul.

He tenido el placer de comer en los tres restaurantes; sin embargo, voy a resaltar mi última visita al restaurante ubicado en Westwood. La decoración es fusión de la época colonial y el México contemporáneo. Los tonos de azul rinden homenaje a la legendaria Casa Azul en Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, casa de Frida Kahlo y actualmente conocida como el Museo Frida Kahlo.

Frida Restaurant is the brainchild of Vicente Del Rio, a native of Mexico’s central valley. Vicente moved to Los Angeles and brought with him the authentic cuisine of his home region to Beverly Hills. Throughout the years this restaurant has gained a loyal following prompting Vicente to open a second and larger Frida at the Americana in Glendale. His third Restaurant is located in Westwood and is formerly known as Casa Azul.

I have had the pleasure of eating at the three restaurants, However, I will focus on my last visit to the Westwood location. The decor is a nice fusion of colonial and modern Mexico. Nice color hues of blue that pay homage to the legendary Casa Azul(Blue house) in Coyoacan, Mexico City, where Frida Kahlo lived and is now the Frida Kahlo Museum.
