Madrid, Spain
All-day Chueca café-bar in a storied former video-rental space
Diurno occupies a spacious ground floor with high ceilings and large windows that flood the interior with natural light. The space has a fascinating history: for fifteen years it was one of Madrid's most beloved video rental stores, and remnants of that past remain visible in shelves lined with VHS cases and DVDs alongside an open refrigerator stocked with prepared food and drinks—a quirky nostalgic touch for film lovers. The design draws inspiration from 1930s Berlin rationalism, creating an elegant, cosmopolitan atmosphere with adjustable lighting and street-facing windows that give it a bright, airy feel despite its Chueca location. The restaurant operates with a non-stop kitchen from 10am to 1am, 365 days a year, making it work for breakfast, leisurely midday lunch, dinner starting at 5pm, or late-night cocktails. The menu blends traditional Spanish dishes with international and cosmopolitan influences—think grilled octopus on yuca purée, beef tenderloin with barbecue sauce, crispy nachos with cheese sauce and chicken, huevos rotos, prawn lasagne, carrot cake, and their praised cheesecake.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
