BA top 9

I´m getting ready to leave BA. I´ve had a blast here, but it´s time to move on. As many great things as there are about this city, I´m ready for new people, places, vistas, and truly fresh air. But before I go, here´s a few things you have to do when you visit BA.

1) Visit Cemetario de Recoleta, the nearby Buenos Aires Design Mall, the Floralis Generica, and on weekends, the craft stalls.

2) Spend a day at the boutiques, bars, and restaurants in posh barrios Palermo and Recoleta.

3) Walk from Plaza de Congresso to Plaza de Mayo, continue to Puerto Madera.

4) Stroll throughout San Telmo visiting the boutiques and antique shops. Good cafes and bars.

5) Visit Avenidas Florida and Lavelle . Then take a vacation.

6) Eat helado, pizza, empanadas, and of course, bif de chorizo from your local parrilla

7) Drink Ades

8) Go to Lansky´s in Barrio Norte. Yes, they might play cumbia, but this is an underground porteño-only establishment

9) Eat at Dada - Bif de Lomo, Bif de Mediteraneo, and the trucha (trout) are my favorites. Visit zanzibar across the street and get Alexis to make you a Katana, Fernet and Coke, or Cuba Libre!
