dinner and then kick up your own heels at a
tanguería.
EL VIEJO ALMACÉN
Corner of Av. Independencia with Balcarce
4307-7388
Continental
Dinner only; closed Sunday
Expensive
Shows Monday through Sunday at 9:30 pm;
Friday and Saturday at 11:45 pm.
After closing its
doors for several
years, El Viejo
Almacén had
reopened on our
last visit.
Many a
porteño
will tell you that you haven't
truly experienced Buenos Aires until you've
spent an evening at El Viejo Almacén. We have
to agree. Declared a cultural landmark, the
city's most legendary tango artists, dancers and
musicians, have performed here and continue
to do so today. Fine continental cuisine is fea-
tured on the menu, but the real reason to come
here is for the show.
MOLIERE
Chile 299, corner of Balcarce
4343-2623
International
Inexpensive to moderate
Tango shows several nights a week(call in advance)
If you can't fit El Viejo Almacén into your bud-
get, Moliere is a fine alternative. For ambience
and decor, Moliere runs a close second. In fact,
we wouldn't be surprised if it were modeled
after its older counterpart. As they say, imita-
tion is the highest form of flattery.
At the time of
our last visit,
Moliere was
offering a pro-
motional menu
for just $9.
There is another
Moliere in Bar-
rio Norte.
