city’s largest crafts market, Feria Artesanal
de laRecoleta, which is open onweekends,
will leave you feeling reborn. Postshopping,
rest your feet at one of the area’s sidewalk
cafés. Libertador and Pueyrredón avenues,
LaRecoleta, 011-54-11-4343-0309
While everybody else is rushing around

— you’re sitting serenely at a table at one of
the city’s best-loved spots, the 150-year-old
Café Tortoni. Don’t give in to the tempta-

coffee (with, of course, a sweet pastry or a
cured-ham sandwich) and just sit — for a
long time. 011-54-11-4342-4328,
