Caracas!!!

Hey guys,
Anyone out there from Caracas? Im looking for some things, but more local things than tourist stops. Anything to suggest? My boyfriend is going to be there 5 days, so i wanted to get some hints for him. He is a photographer, so anything to do with art would be great.
thanks in advance!:rolleyes:

Hi Hebe,
maybe just some cool places to go that wont be alllll tourists. he is a pretty relaxed guy, likes to go out at night, but nothing crazy, local breweries or things of that nature, contemporary art, photography, anything you think he should really see. Also, if you could recommend your favorite restaurant for local food, it would be great! im not sure exactly where he will be in the city....hope thats ok. Thanks for your help!
