Saber viajar

De todos los restaurantes que se ubican en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad, sin duda, destacan aquellos que se descubren dentro de hermosas casonas que datan de hace siglos. Uno de los más conocidos, concurridos y afamados es el mítico Café de Tacuba.

Este restaurante tiene ya más de 100 años, y es que además de su delicioso y mexicano menú, son sus muros los que embelesan a cualquier comensal que ingresa al lugar. Las mesas, la música y las pinturas transportan a todo visitante al México del siglo XX. Es preciso decir que el Café de Tacuba ha permeado la idiosincrasia capitalina desde hace años, por su gran tradición y preciosa decoración.

Pero hay algunos datos de su historia que muchos citadinos desconocen. Vale la pena echar un vistazo a su pasado para verdaderamente comprender los momentos que le otorgaron tanta identidad.

El inmueble que alberga hoy el Café de Tacuba fue construido desde el siglo XVII. Cabe mencionar, que a principios del siglo XX, esta casona fungía como sede de una lechería. Para 1912, Dionisio Mollinero llegó desde Tabasco a la Ciudad de México para fundar un restaurante de auténticas y tradicionales delicias mexicanas. Eligió esta increíble residencia de la calle de Tacuba para hacerlo.

El arte que adorna todos los alrededores del Café de Tacuba es admirable. Lo que más resalta son sus vitrales y mosaicos. Pero también conviene voltear a ver las obras pictóricas, pues muchas son de la época novohispana. Uno de los cuadros más famosos se llama La niña en traje rojo, y es de José de la Borda. También llaman la atención unos óleos de Carlos González, que narran con bellas imágenes el descubrimiento del mole y el chocolate.

If you're doing online dating in the English-speaking world, you might see people talking about their "icks."

This is a slang word — icks are things that give you "a sudden feeling that you dislike someone" or are no longer attracted to them, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Icks are not always really big things. Being rude to an employee at a store, for example, might be an ick for someone, or eating with your mouth open.

People will often say they "got the ick" when they noticed something about a person that made them feel they were no longer attracted to them.

If they get to that point, it may be hard for them to feel attracted again!

If you're looking through dating profiles on an app, the most common ick is people who are negative or bitter.

That's according to a survey for Forbes Health. One thousand Americans who had used a dating app in the last year were asked about their dating habits.

And about 70% said people who are negative or bitter in their bios, perhaps about a previous relationship, give them the ick.

Other common icks include people with edited photos, people who are too interested in their possessions, and people with bad spelling or grammar.

And when using the apps, daters often make their decisions quite quickly.

According to the survey, the average person takes about two-and-a-half minutes to make a decision about whether they like a person or not.

So what makes daters attractive to others? Having a profile that shows a good sense of humor is a good thing, according to 80% of people.

The same number said they like people who have hobbies and interests, while many others like people who are interested in travel — or who show a pet in their photo!
