Food Scene
Old School bar. Typical porteño breakfast: coffee with medialunas, both grasa and manteca (I like this last better); tostado (ham and cheese grilled sandwich). Or an afternoon beer and picada (snacks)

A big MUST for Don Julio, just two blocks from home, usually crowded but they do take reservations.
A few suggestions if not sure what to order:
Start with some molleja (sweetbread), for main dish one of the best options is Ojo de Bife (Rib eye steak) or ask the waiter if they have a better cut that day. The other cut I personally like and suggest is Entraña (Thin skirt). You can have any of these with a salad or Provoleta cheese with red pepper.
Last but not least two options of suggested Malbecs: la Primera Revancha or Petit Flor.

The food is good, but you will love the old school, historic vibe. Personally I'd suggest it for a cold beer and snacks, if you like it you are welcome back any time for a good meal.
