Toga
Bar & grill
C. de Juanelo, 23, Centro, 28012 Madrid, Spain
"Toga is a very tiny place and it's not very expensive. If you go, you have to try croquetas de pisto or the noodles with red tuna."
Silma LOPEZ
Churrería Santa Ana
Churro shop
C. de Sta. Ana, 5, Centro, Centro, 28005 Madrid, Spain
"There's a churro place here called Churrería Santa Ana, which is owned by an old man who opens unofficially at 4.30 am. So if you're up late after a night out and want some churros at sunrise, that's your place."

Bosco de Lobos
Italian restaurant
COAM, C/ de Hortaleza, 63, Centro, 28004 Madrid, Spain
"I love Bosco de Lobos, which is in Madrid's College of Architects building. The place is so beautiful — they have a garden and it's right in the city center, near Gran Via."

Peyma
Family restaurant
C. de Embajadores, 39, Centro, 28012 Madrid, Spain
"One of my favorite things to do is ordering a menú del día. It's a very Spanish thing. It's like a set meal where you get three courses and a drink. I like ordering it at a restaurant called Peyma in the Lavapiés neighborhood. It's run by a really nice family. It's nothing fancy but the food is really good."
Silma LOPEZ
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Art museum
C. de Sta. Isabel, 52, Centro, 28012 Madrid, Spain
"I love to spend time in the library of the Reina Sofía museum. It's a beautiful place to go and read. I spend a lot of my time studying scripts, so I love finding places to do that."

Filmoteca Española Cine Doré
Cinema
C. de Sta. Isabel, 3, Centro, 28012 Madrid, Spain
