What´s going on in Buenos Aires

Premio Bienal Wussmann/Art Joven
In one of the city’s most beautiful galleries (housed in a renovated old multi-family palace), the annual collective show highlights some of Argentina’s finest young artists. Each artist presenting will present one piece and the panel of judges will be made up of some of the older guard of artists. Even if you are not an art lover, it is worth going just to see the space, and the owners will make you feel as if you were in their own home. Their impressive, top-end paper products are also on display and for sale in the same space.
Galleria Wussmann, Venezuela 570, San Telmo. Beginning Wed. Nov. 28.

Casa Felix
One of Buenos Aires’ most creatively elegant “puertas cerradas” (restaurants in private homes), Casa Felix is not to be missed. Chef Diego Felix and his gracious wife Sandra welcome you into their home on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, cooking natural foods from around South America. Their various travels and personal research of indigenous foods are reflected in the tasty dishes served in the 4 course meals. A range of delicious wines is also available, and a creatively mixed welcome cocktail is served in their vegetable and herb garden in the back of their beautiful casa chorizo.
Chacarita. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, for reservations call 4555 1882. www.diegofelix.com.

Tango a Tierra
Looking for a tango show where you won’t be picked up at your hotel in a minivan and surrounded by hordes of fellow tourists? Look no further than the Centro Cultural Borges, where “Tango a Tierra” takes place on Friday and Saturday nights through this month and next. This is a tango both modern yet classic at the same time, and the show is centered on the dance’s ever-present link to the ground and hence to the earth (la tierra). Young dancers perform to the sounds of live musicians, who demonstrate that the rhythms of this hundred-year old music are unexpectedly diverse.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00, Centro Cultural Borges, Avenida Cordoba and San Martin, Centro. Tickets $35 and $25.

Puerta Uno Bar
Another one of Buenos Aires’ “puertas cerradas” (secret bars with no signs outside their front doors), Puerta Uno is the perfect place to spend a warm spring night sipping cocktails with your friends, surrounded by portenos in the know. The bar, located in the Belgrano neighborhood, is a true gem in a city full of already discovered bars and clubs. It has a beautiful outdoor terrace and on weekends the DJ spins great music of all types. Snack food is also served.
Juramento 1887, Belgrano, open 9 pm – 4 am.

Cultural Tigre
You’ve surely heard about Tigre as a tourist magnet where you can barter for and buy cheap souvenirs or even stay in the delta for a weekend escape. But, with the opening of two new museums, Tigre has reinvented itself as a cultural destination as well. The first, the Museo de Arte en el Delta Argentino (MADA), is on the banks of the Lujan River and reached by a short (5 minute) ferry ride. Here you can see various works of art created by the artist who founded the museum, Miguel Alfredo D’Arienzo, in a setting that joins art with nature. The other new museum, also on the river banks, is the Museo de Arte de Tigre (MAT). This is the more “serious” of the two, in a splendid early century building and containing works of art by famous Argentine figurative artists such as Carlos Pellegrini and Carlos Alonso.
Trains to Tigre (about 30 min. away) leave approximately every 20 minutes or more often on weekdays from Retiro.

Spiagge di Napoli restaurant
If you have allotted yourself one or two nights to eat the famous Argentine pasta while you are here, this is the place to do it. The best kept secret in town, Spiagge di Napoli is a porteno institution. It is a true old school cantina where the whole family can (and does!) eat to heart’s content. The waiters, dressed in traditional uniforms, certainly don’t go out of their way to be polite to you, but your stomach will be so full and content, you won’t care. Don’t miss the delicious homemade pastas and the stuffed lasagna. There shouldn’t be room for dessert.
Avenida Independencia 3527, Congreso, 4931 4420. Sunday lunch is a tradition.

Bodies, the Exhibition
Hundreds of thousands of people have seen this exhibit around the world, and now it has arrived in Buenos Aires for an Argentine stint of unspecified length. 18 perfectly preserved human bodies allow the viewer to see up close (maybe too up close!) the complex bodily functions and systems that we so often take for granted. If you can get past the shock of seeing bodies in this way and view it as a scientific endeavor, you are in for an enlightening experience: learning about the relationship between bones, tendons and muscles, oxygen generation, red blood cells, and the cause and effect of many diseases. All in all, a fascinating exhibit, but not for anyone who faints at the sight of blood.
Every day from 9 am to 9 pm, Abasto Shopping Center, Corrientes 3247, Abasto. Entrance 30 pesos.

La Puerta Roja Bar
Yet another one of Buenos Aires’ “puertas cerradas”, the tiny upstairs nameless bar/lounge known for its brightly painted red door as “La Puerta Roja” is a hidden gem. In the Chacabuco neighborhood on the edge of San Telmo, the bar provides a welcome respite from the usual loud twenty-something-filled bars of Palermo. There is a large bustling pool table room where real competition can be found, and a cutting edge hip hop soundtrack is spun at just the right volume. The drinks are just the basics, but unlike those in Palermo they won’t dent your wallet too deeply. Delicious Asian-influenced grub is served, with a truly spicy curry standing out from the bunch.
Chacabuco 733 (esq Mexico; no sign, look for the red door and ring the bell), Chacabuco.

Kika Club
The most talked about club to open in the past year in Buenos Aires, in the heart of Palermo Soho, is Kika Club. Decorated in a modern but cozy style, and featuring great mixed drinks and original DJ’s, this is the hottest place to be at the moment. If you want to be assured of entering, better to arrive early before the crowds and the lines.
Honduras 5631, Palermo Soho, 4137 5311, Free.

“Pajaritos en la cabeza”, by Renata Schussheim
Renata Schussheim is a legend in the Buenos Aires art world, famous for her art as much as her style—she was the first woman to wear a miniskirt in Argentina about 40 years ago! This exhibition, of 16 whimsical drawings on paper, marks her entrance into her newest artistic phase. She is a true personality whose work is not to be missed while she is still active, and many of Buenos Aires’ most important artistic personalities turned up for the star studded opening.
Gallery Lila Mitre, from June 26, Guido 156, Recoleta. Free.

Las Violetas
All the tourists will be hanging out in the justifiably famous Café Tortoni, but if you want a more opulent taste of tradition, head to this 123-year-old French-style cafe. After closing briefly in the late 1990s, Las Violetas's interior, including its gorgeous stained glass, has been restored. The white-jacketed waiters serve the classic breakfast of café con leche with three croissants (5.40 pesos), but the shocker of the menu is the María Cala tea service, an eye-popping pile of cakes, scones, finger sandwiches and pan dulce pastries (29 pesos for three people. Open daily, Avenida Rivadavia 3899, 4958-7387. www.lasvioletas.com).

Pura Vida Juice Bar
Sometimes, as delicious as the meat, pasta and pizza is, you get a little tired of all that and you want something light and healthy yet still delicious. And sometimes you might find yourself in desperate need of an energy boost to get you to the gym.Recently opened Pura Vida Juice Bar in Barrio Norte can help cure what ails you, with its “healthy lifestyle for mind, body, and soul.” The tiny space, with a bar and 6 barstools, and two tables, has a refreshingly healthy menu. Begin your day with a healthy smoothie, choosing among classics like the Kiwi California (kiwi, banana, strawberries and nonfat milk) or more exotic flavors like the Berry Berry Good (raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries and orange juice). Choose an addition like wheatgrass, pollen, or spirulina for an extra boost. At lunchtime, tuck into nutritious salad and sandwich options like the Oriental or the Pollo Latino. You can also buy good looking T-shirts and tank tops on your way out. A refreshing change of pace in this city of carnivores!
Pura Vida Juice Bar, Uriburu 1489, between French and Pena
(15 5932 2845 or www.puravidabuenosaires.com)

Don Carlitos
I’m reluctant to give away this secret, because as of now it remains one of the most authentic places to eat in Buenos Aires. But it’s too good to keep secret. Directly across from “La Bombonera” (Boca Juniors soccer stadium), it makes taxi drivers cringe. But beg them to go, because what you find here is worth the trek. Owner Carlos (hence the name) greets you with suspicion until you accept his offer to make you whatever he feels is best from the kitchen that night. And eat you will! Course after course of all sorts of delicious food comes out, all proudly delivered by Don Carlos, and try not to fill up on the meats because the desserts are truly worth saving space for. Reservations are not a must, but help.
Don Carlos, Brandsen 894, La Boca. 4362-2433

El Zanjón de Granados Mansion Tours
If you consider yourself “underground” you’ll be completely fascinated by this fascinating peek into Buenos Aires’ history. This 175 year old mansion leads to a series of underground tunnels that go back to the city’s early settlements (founded in 1536). Now a museum, the mansion offers intriguing one-hour tours through a cross section of the city’s archaeological layers. 20 pesos.
Defensa 755, San Telmo. 4361-3002.
