Wow! So, BA is so much fun that I have had time to post a message since... Tuesday!
Our first big day in the city we spent exploring Recoleta, the posh section of town. I would compare it with the UES of Manhattan. We had a slowish start, still jet lagged and tired from the night out before. Our hotel provided us a very nice breakfast and we jumped in a cab over to Recoleta. We walked the Ave. Alvear and picked out our fave hotels and buildings. If we ever to stay in this section of town, it would be at the Palacio Duhau. Such a gorgeous building I forgot to take a pic. We saw the regular Recoleta sights, including the famous cemetery which I found very interested but I think gave Danny the creeps.
We then had a delicious, and very French lunch at a sweet bistro called Cafe Jacqueline. Definitely a place where the Portenos Ladies who Lunch go to rest their feet between shopping at La Martina and the other fantastic boutiques. I think my fav. shop was Rossi and Caruso. We will definitely go back when we return to BA next week. I highly recommend. Great shoes, bags, ect... it's like Long Champs meets Argentina.
For dinner, we hit the town and had a late dinner at Sucre, a restaurant everyone recommended in the middle of nowhere. Very cool decor and the food was DELICIOUS. We didn't finish dinner until about 1 am. Danny had the lamb, obvi, and I had the pato (duck). We hopped in a cab, for which I almost had to take down some NYU B-School girl and finished the evening at the ever-so-hip, Casa Cruz. The restaurant had closed, but we went to the bar next door. It wasn't too pack, and the design was very 1970's fabulous. In a small courtyard behind the building, we befriended an odd group of Euros who had flown down to BA for the New Year.
I love BA!
