The food court at Galerias Pacifico across the street from the apartment is fantastic. Ricas Empanadas on Viamonte near Maipu are delicious. Centrally located to most of the rooftop bars. Mercado de los Carruajes is two blocks away. Puerto Madero is close by. It is a nice open-air shopping and restaurant district that offers you a chance to feel the breeze off the water. You are about five blocks from the Madero bus terminal near Luna Park where you can get the reasonably-priced Tienda Leon bus to Ezeiza Airport. You can also walk to Retiro train station where you can take the train to Tigre. Terminal Omnibus de Retiro is next door. I took a bus from there to Mar del Plata, which is a charming seaside city great for relaxation and swimming. Of course, the bus and subway can take you anywhere you want to go in Bs As, like the parks and gardens in Palermo. In a hurry, a taxi is easy to obtain on Av. Cordoba.
