LA PLAZA
Avenida Corrientes, 1400 Block
Like a chameleon, La Plaza is constantly
changing. Much depends on the weather, but
also on what's playing. Open for only a short
time, this cobblestone alley that links Calles
Montevideo and Paraná is designed on multiple
levels reached by steps and ramps. There are
several theaters and their shows change, but
one usually has dramas and the other music.
The center of La Plaza is an open-air amphithe-
ater where concerts are held. Seating is on con-
crete benches and there are many inexpensive
restaurants and gift shops. For the price of a
beer or “pancho,” you can enjoy a jazz combo or
a juggler. It's a landmark in the making.

CLASICO Y MODERNO LIBROS
Avenida Callao 892
A wonderful bookstore/café, this is a quiet
hideaway for those who enjoy steaming
capuccino or herbal teas while engrossed in a
thriller or Garcia Marquez classic. The book-
store in the rear has some pricey English
titles and opens at 10 am. The café, which is
Bohemian in decor, is open seven days a week,
24 hours a day. There is music around 11 pm on
Friday and Saturday nights. Book signings and
readings are held in Spanish.
Open all day
and into the
early morning
hours.
