Out & About in Buenos Aires — what's on this week
Lifestyle · The Week Ahead

From the Center, the Whole City Is a Short Ride

Living downtown has one quiet luxury: nearly everything worth doing is twenty minutes away. Here is where the week is pointing.

There is a particular luck to living in the middle of Buenos Aires: almost everything worth doing is a short ride away. From San Nicolás, the jazz rooms of Palermo, the antique stalls of San Telmo, and the museum mile along Figueroa Alcorta are each a quick subte or a long, pleasant walk.

The week ahead leans musical. At Bebop Club in Palermo Soho, the bassist Linda May Han Oh brings her trio for two nights, June 8 and 9. For something looser and later, Virasoro Bar and Thelonious Club keep the older circuit alive most nights of the week — ninety percent of it homegrown.

The table is busy too. Foga, a new three-story parrilla at Thames and Honduras, is pulling crowds for brisket smoked past fourteen hours; in San Telmo, Caseros has quietly earned a Bib Gourmand for seasonal cooking. Downtown, the café Negro — a Microcentro fixture on the world's-hundred-best list — has opened a second room in Palermo.

For the eye, MALBA marks its twenty-fifth year with a Dan Flavin show opening June 12, while Fernanda Laguna's "Mi corazón es un imán" runs through the 22nd. Closer to home, the Sala Leopoldo Lugones downtown gives Albert Serra's "Pacifiction" four screenings from June 22.

And on Sunday, as ever, Plaza Dorrego fills: the Feria de San Pedro Telmo lays out its silver, its vinyl and its makers from ten to five, rain or shine. The full week's listings follow.
