- What? There’s a Chinatown in Buenos Aires? Yes, believe it or not! And its growing bigger every day with more restaurants, asian supermarkets and trinket shops, its become a very busy neighborhood. The main entrance starts right at the Belgrano train station at Juramento and Arribeños in the neighborhood known as Belgrano. The supermarkets are great if you’re looking for imported ingredients or asian veggies not found in the local vegetable stand. The freshest fish is also found in Chinatown as well. I have to say most of the restaurants are very disappointing but I’ve found an excellent Chinese restaurant on Monteñeses between Juramento and Mendoza called Hong Kong Style. Its probably the only decent dim sum in the city and you have to try the deep fried grouper (mero) with a sweet spicy sauce… excelente! In Asia Oriental, the biggest supermarket, you can grab a bowl of hot noodle soup while you wait for you fish to be cleaned. Enjoy Chinatown!
For the beginning of the week long events, the group started an opening cocktail dinner at Sette Bacco, Buenos Aires’ exclusive Italian restaurant located in the heart of Recoleta. The food was delicious and the group had an amazing time getting to know each other for their upcoming events. As described by Katy Yokom, Spalding’s coordinator, “dinner was spectacular! A smashing success!”Chance Miller, man-about-town, and Elizabeth Gleeson, artist & art connoisseur, hit up local sightseeing spots with two stops at major museums from the fine arts to contemporary work from local Argentine artists. They finished up the tour at an artist house chatting about art while nibbling on cheese and sipping Argentina’s finest wine.
We are still on the move, so I wanted to drop you a quick note to say that today’s itinerary and the “bonus” suggestions below are a real hit so far. We haven’t made it everywhere yet, so some stops will shift to Friday’s schedule when we return from the falls. I’ll email again after we cross everything of our list! Take care…Michael”
