'Locals Only' is a column in which we ask friends from ARGENTINA, our featured country, where they like to eat, thrift, hide out, and hang out in Argentina.
Every girl should have a shoemaker for a BFF, so get to know Lourdes of Argentinean footwear label Chicco Ruiz. The fact that she invited us round for sandwiches makes her a winner in our book!
Place for a low-key dinner with friends? El Preferido—they make a nice paella and serve very big milanesas!
Restaurant for a first date? Bindi, a private restaurant with delicious food. Remember to make a reservation.
Favorite gallery? PASTO
Bookstore? Libros del Pasaje
Place to get coffee? Helena
Favorite vintage spot? Bimba Showroom
Best choripan sandwiches? There's a place in Rafaela, Santa Fe Province. Get the sandwich with the chorizo from the Colombian butcher. Call me, I'll invite you to my house to eat one of these!
Best steak? At home or at La Dorita
Best alfajor cookie? At the kioskos, go to Cachafaz
Barrio to spend your Sunday? Take a boat ride through the Delta in Tigre
Favorite place for weekend getaway? In Traslasierra Valley, Córdoba there is perfect a place called Madre Verde. And if you have more time, visit the north of the country to see Santiago de Estero, Salta, Tucumán, etc.
The one thing you always bring back with you from visiting Argentina? Some mate from Santiagueña
