at first, it looks like any other big bookstore, until that moment when you walk into the rotunda and look up at the ceiling. books are a performance, after all, and this is where they give them.
i love the architecture in this neighborhood, particularly el puente de la mujer and the old cranes that have been left behind from its shipping days.
worth a walkthrough, if only to see the things people saved from decades past (old cameras, street signs, matchbooks, &c.)
a great place to stay in palermo – make sure you get one of the duplex rooms; so much space.
a convenient place to rent bikes in palermo, but they are the "beach bike" kind; make sure to test them out before riding off
easily one of my favorite places in buenos aires. to get: cubos de sepia; duo de cordero; original london dry. (wifi: unik / unik1234)
for a trip to colonia (or another place in URU). make sure to hit the "check-in" line first and then the departures/immigration; otherwise, you're going to be doing extra work.
a super cool spot in a great space; the back room is to be explored. (wifi: 878 / thames878)
one of the few spots open in the hood for a late afternoon lunch. i love the thin crust pizza (try one loaded w mozzarella)
a fantastic meal from an elBulli alum. make sure to get that signature elBulli olive, the provolone pizza/mousse. (wifi: hubporteno / hubporteno1967)
