Becoming Reacquainted with Buenos Aires

We are excited to become reacquainted with Buenos Aires.  Several years ago I worked on a project which caused me to spend 35 days in the city over a nine month period. William was able to join me for five days on one of those trips.  My Buenos Aires home was the Plaza Hotel, which is just a few blocks from where we are now staying.

In between our quest for cellular service we still have time to get reacquainted with the area.  We walk by Obelisco de la Plata and stroll through Plaza Lavalle, which is flanked by Teatro Colón, Templo Libertadad, government buildings and business offices.  In addition we do a little window shopping mostly along Avenida Florida and at the  Pacifico Mall.

We spend time in Plaza San Martin, looking at the monuments and people watching.  William takes time to sit back and smoke a Cuban cigar he bought in a shop near our hotel.
 
It would not be a reacquaintance if it did not include the beef of Argentina. Contrary to the advice yesterday from the Front Desk, on Friday I find that there are local restaurants who serve food after 3 pm.  Las Mejores is just four blocks away and well regarded on Trip Advisor.  It is a great place for locals and for a traveler.  There isn't much in the way of ambiance, but William has a half liter of beer, I have a glass of premium Malbec and we each have a pound of the best ribeye we have had since arriving in South America (with a side salad) for $35 U.S. Oh yes, although very busy, the wait staff is friendly and helpful.

Saturday's main meal (at 3 pm) is at Las Nazarenes, just seven blocks from our hotel.  There's comfortable outside dining under the umbrellas. We start with a baked provolone, then a Caesar salad and finally share a ribeye.  With a 750 ml of beer and a generous glass of wine the total is $75 USD. The ambiance is nice, the waiters, more professional, the food is good, but the steak doesn't measure up to yesterday's ribeye at Las Mejores.
