El Ateneo: A book lover's paradise

So, you’re in Buenos Aires and you’re hunting for a copy of Julio Cortazar or Mafalda. You must go to El Ateneo. Warning: there are cheaper bookstores all around town that will give the same service for less. But, look at El Ateneo. It’s just so theatrical and enthralling.  Miles of books in what used to house a [...]

Amor Porteño

Amor Porteño

Amor porteño

Una inquietante mirada de amor porteño
Cálida y cruel
No, no puedo creer que pasó

They make you look at them. Dead flowers have a kind of dignity about them. Something there is that does not glow [...]

Eating in Buenos Aires: Asado o Asado

Un Certain Regard
I just loved the look of this restaurant, Patio Baires in San Telmo. You don’t often see places like that. All brick, yellow and orange bursting from the walls to the foods, it’s a rest stop if you are on tourist feet in San Telmo, Buenos Aires. Of course, they specialized in asado, [...]
