Tulum Living Calendar

Tulum Living Calendar!!!
Introducing the first total calendar of Tulum. I want all events and things going on around town. One of the biggest complaints for the visitors of our beautiful slice of heaven and for the locals that live here is that you cannot find out about things that happen. It is always… “Hey did you go last night to the….?” Followed by the … “ Ahhh – I did not know about it.”

My little Tulum Living project has really grown and changed very organically as I have lived here. As I have become increasing more involved with Todo Tulum and writing for them I have found the direction that I want to take with this page.

I want an events calendar of all of the things that going on around Tulum. I propose that people around town can let me know of things that are going on and I will build a comprehensive calendar of Tulum. Here is how it will work.

If you have an event that you would like on the calendar you need to send me the following information…
Event Name: _______________________________________________________________
Event Date: ______________________ Event Time: ______________________________
Event Location: ____________________________________________________________
Event Categories:
Live Music: _____ DJ Party: ________ Family Event: ________________
Performance/Culture: ________________ Happy Hour: ________________
Community Involvement: _________________ Class/ Seminar: ______________
** More categories will probably be added over time**
Any Contact information: ______________________________________________________

I will then put those on an interactive calendar on www.TulumLiving.com for the whole world to find out about.

You may place 1 event per week on the calendar for free. For those who want to post 5-12 events a month the charge is $125 pesos/month. For 13-21 events per month the charge is 180 ps/mo. We will also be selling ad space on Tulum Living. For information on our prices and ads, please email us for more information.

The other project that we are moving full force on is the Tulum Living School Project. This is where we are going to go to each public school here in Tulum and find out what their big “want” is. Each school has something- well, in fact many things that they need and want but that cost way too much to ever get bought. I am going to set up a wish item and a donation opportunity in order to make progress on these items. 100% of the money that is donated goes directly to the wanted item.

I am looking forward to launching the calendar on March 1 st. Please- if you would like your events on the calendar- please email us the above information.

Le Bistro- French fare in Tulum ***

This small little french restaurant just opened recently in Tulum. This whole block has quickly become my favorite in Tulum. The 4 small nicely nut distinctly decorated restaurants are so charming.

I came here for dinner one night and immediately fell in love. The back courtyard is as charming as you can get.  With a beautiful small garden blocked off from the bustle of the avenue it is a very nice place to enjoy some wonderful french food. 

These are the exact sort of places I hope come to Tulum.  This place has just a few tables and makes wonderful french fare.  My husband got a wonderful steak with a creamy Roquefort sauce on top.  It was the first time that we had even seen any blue cheese anything since we moved here.  It was wonderful.  

The breakfast and lunch menus range from omelettes with wonderful herbs, traditional egg dishes and breads to fantastic baguette sandwiches and crepes.  Diverse salads are available in 2 sizes which I really like.  Especially because there are times you want the salad for the meal.  I have not eaten some of the french delicacies since I left Paris and I am so glad to see them on the menu here.  Le Bistro also offers some wonderful suggestions for wine pairings with some of their French specialties.

Beautiful dinner options like salmon tartar and cuts of meat with traditional sauces call to me like crazy.  I cannot wait to come here for dinner.  The whole little block lights up in the evenings and with a bottle of wine and amazing French cooking it promises to be an amazing night.   And as the only place where I have ever seen Absinthe on the menu- ohhhhoooohhhh Boy look out for a really great night.

Le Bistro has now expanded and has wonderful day options to go.  I will go take a deeper look at the new additions to the menu and report back.  

Don Cafeto's in Tulum ***

This is one of the most well known restaurants in Tulum town.  I love walking by this place (especially in the morning) because without fail I will see some of the people that I know.  There is always a great group of people that come to this restaurant and it is not hard to see why. 

The restaurant is very clean and nice and serves up great portions of food for a great price.  I come here most often for breakfast.  There are so many wonderful things on the menu but I usually get the huevos motulenos.  This is sort of like Huevos rancheros but with ham and peas and black beans.  It is wonderful.  It is served with the traditional friend plantain and is just great. 

The people watching is great here as well.  I love coming by the restaurant in the evenings as well because they have a very talented keyboard player and the music is great to listen too.  They are also very wonderful to kids here.  My kids have joined in with the key board player on more then 1 occasion and everyone is so supportive of my little budding musicains.
