i have a problem with must-sees. more often than not, they’re flooded with tourists and lose their meaning in camera lights. el ateneo is a bookstore. pushed into a former theatre, yet still a bookstore. but hardly anybody buys anything here. hardly anybody reads. you go in, have something to drink/eat, snap a few photos and leave. for me, el ateneo is an idea, a grand sight but lacks atmosphere.

so many write about this place using superlatives. and it is the best pizza we’ve had here. we found it hard to decide which one to get, the choice is huge. anyway, made by italians, appreciated by argentinians. thank goodness for immigration, right?

turns out it’s not easy to find certain foods here. natural yogurt for example is always a pain. if it’s without sugar, it won’t sell, so even the greek-style one has either bits of fruit (!) or sugar inside. when you discover that only type which isn’t sweetened, you stumble upon another curiosity on the list of ingredients: gelatin (stabilizer). clearly not a vegetarian option.
glad to know there’s la choza for sugar and gelatin free organic yogurt (products available at farmers’ markets and veggie restaurants). there’s wapi for as delicious as beautiful cheese (in most supermarkets). and hausbrot for naturally wonderful bread (branches across the city). yum!
