BAires Part 2: foodies, amigos & friends

Just when you thought Buenos Aires couldn’t get any better, a few more days of foodie adventures, reunions with dear travel buddies and live music were in store!

It all kicked off with a night out near Palermo to reunite with Mike and Gio, who had come from Bariloche to Buenos Aires. I was so happy to see them again!

To top it off, I finally made it to La Sanguchería (aka “La Sangu”) to indulge in Luis’ specialty subs. He’d opened his food venture about a year ago, and it was no surprise that his subs were earning endless 5-star reviews. Yum! Ado and I shared two different ones since there were so many to try! 😋

You’d think we’d take a break from indulging, but that only lasted until the next evening when Ado and I hit Avenida Corrientes—a vibrant street full of theatres, bookstores, pizzerias, and nightlife.

You’d think we’d take a break from indulging but that lasted us only till the next evening when Ado and I went to the famous Avenida Corrientes, a vibrant street known for its endless number of theatres, bookstores, pizzerias and nightlife!

Ado had already planned a night out to see Palabra Plena, a reflective monologue by renowned Argentine psychoanalyst Gabriel Rolón, where he explores themes of language, human emotion and authenticity through a theatrical clinical case. It was captivating—so much so that I bought his latest book to be my final read of the year 🎭 📕

But before the theatre, we grabbed a slice at Guerrín, a 90-year-old pizzeria famous for its traditional Argentinian pizzas, followed by pistachio gelato at Cadore—yum and yum! 🍕🍨

The next day, we headed to La Plata to see the legendary Fito Páez. Ado and I had seen him nearly 15 years ago in Caracas, then again virtually during the pandemic, and now once more on this trip! It was incredible, but before heading to the stadium, we stopped for lunch at Argentina’s first focacceria. Yum again! We had a lovely meal discussing some of our favorite Spanish words like sobremesa. The 2-hour bus ride there and the even longer Uber ride back were totally worth it! 🎤

After all that, we finally had a rest day before spending a whole day making hallacas -the beloved Venezuelan Christmas tradition- with some delicious Argentinian wine! 🫔 🍷

And this was not even close to the end of the food bonanza! I knew they had more in store ☺️ Czytaj więcej
