La Recoleta – This is an upper echelon area of the city with many 
open air restaurants and cafés. You must have a drink or coffee at La Biela, the most traditional and well know café. Plush apartment dwellings and flats surround gigantic rubber trees and an extensive park with many arts and crafts stands on weekends that invite a leisure stroll. Walk around and enter the Recoleta Cemetery to appreciate the past riches of the Argentinean nation. Evita Perón, wife of past populist dictator and president Juan D. Perón is buried here. Ask where her tomb is located and find your way there. The church of Nuestra Señora del Pilar borders the 
cemetery. Just outside, along the park, is the Recoleta cultural and shopping center with many open-air restaurants and interesting shops. If you continue down the park and to the left on the broad Av. Libertador you can walk to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Bs.As. Design Center. On the opposite direction 
(south) on the Avenida Alvear you must visit Hotel Alvear Palace; the imposing lobby and the breakfast brunch are both memorable. This is the hotel favored by artists and head of state.
They have a new Tango Show place for nightly shows. Several blocks behind the Alvear and over Avenida Libertador you will find Patio Bullrich, a Shopping Mall worth visiting.
