Dining And Nightlife

Bogota has a surprisingly hopping nightlife and there are several areas that are particularly active and bars say open until 3 am. Most of them border the east of the city that is at the foothills of the mountains.
From north to south, those areas are the Usaquen, Parque 93, T-zone and Macarena districts.
You will find everything from Irish pubs, to martini bars and dance clubs. The very first Hooters is just opening up in the T Zone.
To get there, the best bet is to arrange a cab with your concierge, in each direction. Its not advisable to hail one off the street. If there is a taxi line in front of the establishment, that's usually a safe option.

Partying in the T-Zone

As for dining in Bogota, "comida tipica" is very popular and its easy to find slabs of meat hanging over open fire pits in the traditional parilladas or grills. They also add a lot of salt in their dishes and one kind of soup, called Ajiaco, is a salty potato laden cr?me soup with a quarter of a corn cob and chicken. It can easily serve as a meal on its own.

Although carne, or meat, is a really big part of their diet, you can find some relief with more stylish restaurants that serve ceviche and other fish dishes.
