In-Depth Information
Curtains are painted on the glass windowpanes
and the tables are lined up cafeteria-style in
Los Tres Amigos.
Kids run among the aisles
and through the tables as if it were a play-
ground and the paper mâché decor is appropri-
ately tacky and fun. Pizza and vermicelli are
heaped high on the plate here and you'll be con-
sidered a wet noodle if you don't accept the invi-
tation to dance a tarentella or improvise a ditty
in front of the boisterous crowd.
Just as boisterous are
Il Piccolo Vapore, La
Fragata, Gennarino
at Necochea 1210,
La
Gaviota
at 1254,
Rimini
at 1234 and
Spadavecchia
at Necochea 1180, although
tour bus crowds can become a bit of a nuisance
here.
Café Tango Los Buenos Muchachos
on the corner of Pedro de Mendoza and Coronel
Salvadores is also worth a look.
The Carritos of
Costanera Norte
Costanera Norte is a waterfront promenade
that runs along the River Plate. One inlet of the
promenade, Avenida Rafael Obligado, about 10
minutes from downtown by cab, is lined with
popular restaurants serving Italian and grilled
beef specialties. These eateries stay open until
the wee hours and it is easy to move from one
restaurant to another. Spending an evening
here is a lot of fun. For more specifics about
