One Parisian-looking block of Avenida Caseros, a long street on the border of the Barracas and San Telmo neighborhoods, is a little gastronomic hub just five minutes from the drone of tourists. There are nine options within 300 feet. Try the Italian dishes at Nápoles, traditional bodegón food (like an extensive tavern menu) at La Popular, craft beer at On Tap and ice cream at El Fundador. Their surroundings offer even more activities.
