During my first two weeks in Buenos Aires, I lived like an empanada-eating vagabond and did nothing more than check off my list of must-see museums, parks, cafes and city landmarks.
Here’s the shortlist.
Anima Cupcakes, admittedly no longer a brick-and-mortar cafe (but they cater!). Instead, check out Artemesia Cocina Natural for similar plant-laden prettiness and a more robust menu.
I was a tourist in my new town, walking at least five miles a day and exploring its streets like the eager little yanqui I am. In the midst of it, I wrote a Buenos Aires starter pack for The Bubble, an online English newspaper geared toward expats. The article guides newbies through the overwhelming and often disorienting process of moving to a new country. The fact that I wrote a guide is amusing to me now — because I was absolutely making it up as I went along.
