Today felt like a great day to venture outside of our current favorite Barrios (neighborhoods). We had heard so much about Villa Crespo - a very proud, middle-class neighborhood south of Palermo Viejo. It's known for the leather outlets on Calle Murillo and for the bohemian and intellectual residents.
We decided to burn off the Sunday Asado by walking to Villa Crespo via Avenida Pueyrredón and Avenida Corrientes. It took little over 90 minutes which is the furthest we have walked one-way in BA. Once we got to the leather outlets, we were too exhausted to actually care about all the leather ware and just quickly browsed a few stores and headed for one of our favorite lunch restaurants, Central in Palermo Hollywood.
Central is an amazing restaurant. The food is very well-tasting and inexpensive, the staff super friendly and the place very well-thought out with comfortable lounge sofas and a wall full of magazines. Their Menu del Día runs at about AR$ 16 (US$ 5) and includes a starter, main and a glas of wine.
One of our favorite things with Central is that you can hangout there for hours with no pressure for turning tables. The lounge sofas invite to both reading and power napping. And if you happen to stay there for a few hours I highly recommend the afternoon sandwiches with cheese and ham - deeelish!
The walk home was anything but enyojable and probably took about 90 minuts as well. We made a few pitstops in Palermo Soho then via Avenida Santa Fe and our local grocery store Disco.
