What's going on around the city by Andraf
As soon as I get to Bucharest I try to find out what is going on around the city. For that I try to get hold of a copy of either "Sapte Seri" (Seven Nights) magazine or "B-24-Fun" magazine. These weekly magazines are offered freely and you can pick one up in cafes, bookshops, restaurants and hotels all over downtown. They will tell you all you need to know about the movies that are currenly running, theatres, restaurants, pubs, clubs, art events, concerts and many others. They're rival publications but in general they have the same information so either one will do. B-24-Fun has some cute articles, but they are in Romanian. Some of the information is in Romanian, some in English. I do think there's value in picking one up even if you don't speak Romanian. Sapte Seri also has a website at www.sapteseri.ro (which has an English version). Another good source of information (but harder to find) is the monthly Bucharest in Your Pocket available on the web here:http://www.inyourpocket.com/romania/bucharest/en/
