One of the world's great independent book shops. Acres of new and second hand books. Great place to come when it's raining, which it probably is. Pick up a map and browse all day.

Lots to choose from but don't miss arepas, like a potato cake but made from cornmeal. Hot, soft, salty & filling, the perfect snack.

Effortlessly hip bar tucked away in the northern quarter, friendly staff, good music and always something interesting to look at on the walls.

Hip restaurant in Belgrano. Good modern Argentinian food, great wine list, cavernous industrial-chic interior, slightly pretentious but the place to go if you want to spend an evening with the BA "it" crowd.

Great, small, independent youth hostel. You'll feel part of the scenery of trendy, laid back Condesa/Roma.

DF's Camden Market. Hang out with the city's goths, punks and art students shopping for obscure mexican music and movies, army surplus and novelty T-shirts.
