81. Plaza Serrano
As it is the neurological center of Palermo, the Plaza is a must in the afternoon
to be able to visit all the clothing and designer shops that are multiplying
in the area. At night, it turns into a scene as it attracts different types
of people without inciting a riot.
82. A Day at the Races
Patino was a person from Rico Tipo magazine who earned most of his money at the Hippodromo (race track). In his honor, it is not a bad idea to bet on some horses and drink plenty of cocktails between races.
Ave Del Libertador 4101

83. With a Scent of Patchouli
It is true: There are people here that peddle worn out CD's from the 80's,
but the artists of Plaza Francia deserve another chance. Go on Sunday to breathe
in the new incense flavors and try on the wool hats. Without mate, the afternoon
will be incomplete.
84. Tofu and Soy
Chinatown in Belgrano offers food/vegetables for those with an adventurous
palate, a Buddhist temple, porn video stores, and a collection of objects that
are great gift ideas for those birthdays when we don't know what to give each
other.
Arribenos between Mendoza y Montaneses
85. Flea Markets
To look for good antique furniture, coin collections, CDs, or old radios, there is nothing better than taking a walk through the Flea Markets.
Alvarez Thomas and Dorrego
86. Lezama Park
Before Ernesto Sabato became the symbol of the Argentine adolescent, he wrote a novel that took place in Barracas (a barrio outside of the city). Go to the park, read some passages from the book, then make out with your partner in front of the statues.
87. Open Kimono
While some people jog through the parks in Palermo, others opt for drinking
tea in the Japanese Gardens. If you do go, don't forget the fish food. There
is nothing more relaxing than sitting on one of the white stone benches and
observing all the fish swimming about.
Av Figueroa Alcorta y Av Casares
88. An Oasis on Corrientes Avenue
The shows on Paseo La Plaza are classic for those thirty-somethings that, at one point, suffered from electric shock. If you have some spare cash, buy some classic Argentine memorabilia of Rigoletto Curioso. The perfect gift.
Corrientes 1660
Tel: 6320-5300
89. Plaza San Martin
The people who live in the center know the beauty of this square close to Florida Street. It is an ideal place to sneak a mid-day nap, have a picnic, take a break from the office, or people watch in the heart of the city.
90. The Library
The mother of all libraries lies in the middle of the greenery of Recoleta.
The Plaza is an ideal place to finish that book you have been renewing for
months.
Aguero 2502
91. Porteno Labyrinth
They say that those that enter Parque Chas in a car never leave. They say that its streets were designed to have a centrifugal effect. They say that the autumn fog produces a storm effect. They say that the children possess special powers. Go see for yourself.
92. The Republic of Flores
Alejandro Dolina went beyond the literary limits with his tale of this Buenos
Aires neighborhood in Cronicas del Angel Gris. It's worth going to see some
of his icons and discover some of the secrets of Flores.
93. Babylonia Gardens
It's a refuge to make your fantasies become reality. This mythical hourly rate hotel on the Panamericana highway is one of the best places to let your passions run wild. The rooms have names like Templo de Ishtar, Nippur, and El Oraculo del Soberano, and are arranged like a story from a soft porn video or so they tell us!!!
