The Authentic Bars, Cafes and Restaurants of Buenos Aires

If I lived in Buenos Aires I probably wouldn't be too happy about this book. It reveals all those hidden gems that locals would like to keep to themselves. But as a tourist I found this the most useful little culinary guide book I've ever bought. Of course, BA has all those new hip (fusion and otherwise) restaurants you'd expect to find in a city that's playing in the New York / London / Copenhagen / Sydney / etc. - league. But the problem with those restaurants is that you wouldn't know if you're in BA, NYC, London, etc., without looking at their business cards. The restaurants and cafes listed in this little book BREATHE BA, they could only be there. We tried MANY of these places and they offered very good to outstanding food and, equally important, wonderful atmosphere. I emailed a friend who grew up in BA and listed some of the restaurants. She was almost taken aback that within a week we had uncovered almost all of her favorite "hidden" gems. As I said, locals may disapprove.
