BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: “Buenos Aires combines faded European grandeur with Latin passion. Sexy and alive, this beautiful city gets under your skin” - lonely planet
STAY
We found the most amazing AirBnB situated between Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood. Casa Uriarte “is a much sough-after corner property for fabulous bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and has one of the top weekend markets in BA, just a few blocks” walking distance.
The space itself is beautiful, including a fireplace, stained glass, brick ceilings, “terrace with parilla (BBQ) and an upper terrace affording views of Palermo Viejo”. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

El Mercado is a great wine shop located in Palermo Soho and is the perfect stop if you are looking to bring home local gifts for family/friends. The owners are super kind and knowledgeable and are eager to help make recommendations.
The Harrison Speakeasy Located in Palermo. “A riff on the fish market speakeasy operated by the notorious Harrison family in New York during the Prohibition, this iteration (authentically located underneath a sushi restaurant) recreates all of the illicit drama of the period. The real Nicky Harrison—a jailbird who later fled New York—wound up finding life and love in Buenos Aires and every detail in this bar is an ode to his story. (Even the menus feature newspaper clippings detailing Harrison’s 1930 incarceration.) The well-stocked bar is manned by guys who know what they're doing, too.” - goop review

Uptown located in Palermo is brought to you by the same owners as the Harrison Speakeasy. “A pretty novel concept, this bar is a complete reconstruction of the NYC subway, as if it’s in transit from the Bronx to Uptown—yet, unlike the subway, this bar also manages to feel illicit, swanky, and clean. No stone was left unturned here—they’ve thought of every detail from the subway tiles that cover nearly every surface and the turnstile you need to pass through, to the actual subway car that holds the bar” - goop review

Walk the streets of Palermo Soho/Hollywood. There are so many wonderful shops/cafes/restaurants etc. within this area. If the weather is nice, you can easily spend an entire afternoon just walking around this area.
Paul French Gallery is a hidden gem (Gorriti 4865, C1414 BJM) and a great spot to grab tea/coffee while you shop.
La Recoleta Cemetery contains the graves of a number of notable people, including Eva Perón, presidents of Argentina, Nobel Prize winners, the founder of the Argentine Navy, and a granddaughter of Napoleon. These vaults are still being used by Argentine families today.
Gracias, Bye.
