A great area for restaurants and walks by the river. On the opposite side is the "new" Buenos Aires with hundreds of luxury highrises. Nice to visit but not to live! Our favorite restaurant is Tratoria Parolacia, especially at lunch time when you can take advantage of the Menu Ejecutivo--quite inexpensive for this upscale establishment. By the wy, the city's most famous steak house, Cabana Las Lilas, is located here.
