Museo del Puerto
On the outskirts of town – in a former customs building that’s hardly noticeable among the massive grain elevators and fortress-like power plant of Puerto Ingeniero White – the Museo del Puerto is an iconoclastic tribute to immigrants and their heritage, and includes an archive with documents, photographs and recorded oral histories. The best time to visit is for a weekend afternoon tea, when local groups prepare regional delicacies, each week representing a different immigrant group. Live music often accompanies the refreshments. Bus 500 from the Plaza Rivadavia goes to the museum.

El Mundo de la Parrilla
Reservations are a must at this buzzing parrilla, which locals agree is the best in town. The tenedor libre (AR$45 for women, AR$48 for men!) sees an endless procession of succulent grilled meats brought to your table, along with salad and drinks.
