Bliss In Buenos Aires
Samantha Peretore
More shopping in Recoleta
Recoleta is the Upper East Side of Buenos Aires - the wealthy have put down roots here, and so it's also spotted with great shops. Some of my favorite haunts here include: De Maria on Libertad (shoes), Salsipuedes across the street (clothes), and Humawaca on Posadas (bags). If you miss the mall scene, Patio Bullrich on Posadas is beautiful and has a lot to offer.
Dinner at La Cabrera
Widely recognized as one of the best parrillas (steakhouses) in Buenos Aires, and for good reason. Bife de lomo and bife de chorizo are classic "must"s - if you're adventurous, go for a full parrilla and see how much you can stomach. Remember that Argentines eat late - never before 9pm - so you may have better luck getting a table if you are go early.
Drinks at Milion
Alternatively, you could head down to Paraná (just off of Santa Fe) for drinks at Milion. Here I go again with the repurposed spaces...Milion is an incredible restaurant and bar in a gorgeous, cozy, old mansion. Its great drinks, interesting decor, and swanky clientele make it a total gem.
