Out in the distance, in the middle, you can make out the Club de Pescadores. This area of Costanera Norte is a good place for a walk right along the banks of the Río de la Plata.

Apartments (expensive!) on the Alvear Street, Buenos Aires. Very close to the nice plazas and parks in Recoleta, right next door to the weekend Recoleta Feria.

Demashk is a small joint at Charcas 3816 corner of Scalabrini Ortiz, and near the Subte station. They serve shawarma sandwiches, and side dishes. Very inexpensive, AR$6 each for these dishes. Strange service though - he insisted he could not give me pita for the hummus (puré de garbanzos) or metabal (puré de berenjenas) or baba ganush (berenjenas, tomate, pasta de granada, perejil), even though they had a stack of pita breads that were used to make the shawarma sandwiches! Still, worth a visit for a change in pace from usual standard fare in Buenos Aires.

El Establo at Paraguay 489. Half-portion of the bife de chorizo. Great sauce, nice tangy taste, was not the usual dry-tasting chimichurri seen in most places.

Dadá bistro at San Martin 941. This was a mid-day special, not their usual Lomo. Fantastic, nicely seared on the outside, and great tasting beef.
