; Salguero 3172; 10am-10pm)
One of the largest and
most upscale malls in the city. All the popular Argentine women's clothing shops are rep-
resented, as are international boutiques such as Adidas, Nike and Swatch. Other stores sell
leather goods, kids' clothes, men's designs, sportswear and accessories. There's also a
large food court and a children's play area.
PATIO DEL LICEO
( 4822-9433; Santa Fe 2729; 2-8pm Mon-Sat)
Wonderful little shopping mall with funky,
casual and very artsy vibe. In the past few years, young struggling artists have taken over
and created an artistic hub here, filling it with various small stores, exhibition spaces and
workshops. You'll find a couple of book shops, a record store and some design stores. For
refreshment there's a small cafe called Baby Snakes.

This
cool literary sanctuary offers history, culture and art books. They're mostly in Spanish, but
look for the small English section near the front door (with some Lonely Planet books).
There's a cute cafe in back, with small inside patio, for a snack or cup of coffee.

Everyone emails these days, but step into this stationery store and you'll be tempted to
start penning letters again. A large selection of gorgeous wrapping papers, handmade sta-
tionery and funky spiral notebooks (look for the Evita motif) all inspire.
