Quito’s Nuema Restaurant Named in Top 100 Restaurants in the World

Breakfast at Nuema. Photo by Melanie Votaw.

Conde Nast Traveler has named its top 100 restaurants in the world, and Nuema in Quito is number 61. It’s nestled in the Illa Experience Hotel & Spa, and I had the extraordinary opportunity to experience this restaurant firsthand.

Run by Chef Alejandro Chamorro and his Pastry Chef wife, Piedad Salazar, the restaurant raises its own fresh Ecuadorian herbs and other produce for farm-to-table dining.

I went back to see Jonathan in the show one more time before he left and recently went to see Jeremy. Both of these men are bona fide Broadway stars, but perhaps more people know Jonathan because of his role as King George in “Hamilton” and his extensive TV work. Theater buffs, however, are just as enamored with Jeremy, who broke out when he starred in “Newsies” on Broadway and is considered by many to have the best tenor voice on Broadway today.

, ,

ucked into a historic stretch of Greenwich Avenue in the West Village, Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 evokes a sophisticated nostalgia that feels both timeless and exhilaratingly now. With its moody lighting, emerald leather banquettes, glowing fireplace, and geometric tile work, the 3,000-square-foot space reads like an intimate supper club plucked from Prohibition-era Manhattan and elegantly revived for modern-day bon vivants.
