Esterosdelibera the photos look just like what I was searching for.
I'll put San Isidro on my list and I will definitely check out La Plata and tell you how the museum is lizzylou.

| quimera21:02 UTC21 Jun 2007 | Go to Lavalle and Florida (just for pedestrian, so imagine), there's a cafe, "City Corner". Take seat there and watch the people.
I worked in that building, first floor, my boss was the City Corner's owner. That was... ups, 20 years ago... it's crowdier now.
I used to watch people going along those streets and, of course, in different moments of the day I had great opportunities to see something interesting, to recognize the "characters" of the area, and I have many memories.
"characters" are not the same now, of course.
I don't like City Corner be-cau-se I worked for them, hahahaaaa, but as you won't have the possibility of going upstairs, I admit that going into the cafe is your best choice.

- Feria de Mataderos, very nice and cheap stuff for bargaining.
2. If you really want a "hole in the wall" restaurant, definetely check out El San Juanino, its in Recoleta, 1515 Posadas. Great Locro *an indigenous/gaucho stew from el Cuyo! Definetely nice, small, great atmosphere and probably the cheapest restaurant in Recoleta.

| olemarkie23:54 UTC28 Jun 2007 | Reserva Ecologica may be OK for a run and perhaps watch the locals strolling in the sun at weekends, but from the point of view of a parque, it is one of the most boring I have ever been in - and I've been in a few.

| mistersteve00:40 UTC29 Jun 2007 | The big Parks in Palermo are interesting on Sunday afternoons when they are crowded with locals (but be sure to go to the San Telmo antiques market on Sunday morning, and have an early lunch at that popular steak restaurant in the area --- can't remember the name, something like El Div......). but go early enough to avoid the crowds at that restaurant).
