Seldom before did la Guardia street have an excuse to attract such a flock of bold, stylish and inked up folk; until Miscelänea provided a reason for young art types to arrive.

The wide garage door of Guardia #10 opens to a gallery space exhibiting the works of young local and international artists. Workshops, concerts and a lively exchange between its members add to the all-involved atmosphere of Miscelänea; an initiative which began in 2004 as a cultural center for the promotion of upcoming artists. The gallery leads to the staircase which takes you downstairs to the shop and the Lab Hall (where various raucous events are hosted), or upstairs to the cafe-bar serving smoothies, cocktails and snacks. Miscelänea maintains a solid web presence through their blog and site, but be sure to check out the real thing.
