The
cantinas
of Necochea are informal and
lusty. If you are an extrovert and enjoy singing
and dancing for your supper, by all means
spend a night here. For specifics, check

Palermo
Palermo, north of Recoleta and Palermo Chico,
resembles many of Buenos Aires' middle class
neighborhoods. What makes Palermo special is
that it is home to a wonderful park, the city's
zoo, planetarium, exposition hall, botanical
garden, its loveliest race track and the polo
fields. There is a used book fair along Avenida
Libertador on weekends as well. Quiet week-
days, Palermo is crowded on weekends year-
round.
Getting There
It's easy to get to Palermo. The best way is to
hop
Subte

Italia, the heart of Palermo. The ride takes 20
minutes. Buses 10, 152 and 60 leave from
