(4) Andrew Rosati, Leading a Double Life in Caracas.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a ... -backdrop-of-crisis
("Venezuela was once the continent’s wealthiest nation thanks to its oil riches, and its capital was renowned for its glittering nightlife")

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: The Chacao district hosts protests by day, and parties by night
(b) The online version and print are almost identical.
(c) "In the courtyard of La Esquina, a restaurant in Caracas's upscale Chacao district"

Spanish-English dictionary:
* esquina (noun feminine): "an exterior corner [of a building; as opposed to a recess]"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/esquina
(d) "The capital's smallest district, Chacao is also the wealthiest * * * The sliver-thin neighborhood is packed with low-rise apartments and gated residences and stretches from the Guaire River to the lush green mountain that separates Caracas from the Caribbean."
(i) Chacao, Venezuela
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacao,_Venezuela
(section 5 History: name)
(ii) "the lush green mountain that separates Caracas from the Caribbean"

Enter Caracas (without quotation marks) in the google, and atop the search returns is a google sketch for Caracas, where the green mountain was north of Caracas, sandwiched by Caribbean and Caracas. Guaire River is short and slender; it is hard to tell in the Google map, except that Francisco Fajardo Freeway runs on both sides of the River.
