Things to see:

• Dog shit on all the sidewalks.
• Taxi drivers that all look like college literature professors.
• The feral cat colony in the city’s botanical garden.
• The Sunday street fair in San Telmo.
• The stray dogs that obey the crosswalk lights.
• The professional dog walkers.
• The zoo, unless it’s a Monday: it’s closed then.

Things to taste:

• The local beer, Quilmes, which is devoid of any hops flavoring and flat tasting.
• Parrillada, especially the blood sausage.
• Empanadas.
• Coffee and a “sandwich miga con queso y jamon” for breakfast.
• The burgers: a fried egg stacked on meat and cheese. Awesome.
• A submarino, the local version of a hot chocolate.
• The “pasta”, which is mushy and pasty white in color.
