La Carnicería steakhouse in Palermo has long championed the traceability of grass-fed beef; its sister restaurant, Los Jardines de las Barquín, shares that philosophy but with grains. Just a short walk from the port, the recently opened eatery is tucked into the Andalusian gardens at the Museo de Arte Hispanoamericano Isaac Fernández Blanco — which means your al fresco lunch will be accompanied by towering palms and birdsong. The museum’s impressive collection spans neo-viceregal silver and cusqueño works; after getting your fill of Hispanic art, load up on green barley risotto with fresh spinach, fava beans, and peas paired with a glass of skin-contact orange wine from Uco Valley, Mendoza.

To browse contemporary knitwear with a conscience, head to Ursa Textiles, an Argentine project that was inspired by women hand-spinning Merino wool at an annual sheep shearing contest in Patagonia. Designer and U.S. transplant Elizabeth Gleeson vowed to start working her way through this wool, yard by yard, but casting and purling eluded her. A fortuitous meeting with an all-women knitting collective from Barrio Mujica, the former shantytown, proved fruitful for everyone. A decade later, the group continues to stitch vibrant bespoke items such as bubblegum-pink cardigans and pastel midi dresses, putting a fresh spin on winter woolies available at the Ursa showroom.

Tango is like oxygen in this city, but it can be hard to know where to start breathing it. The Almagro neighborhood is the place. Take inspiration from the Carlos Gardel mural on the corner of Anchorena and Zelaya streets before popping into his former home turned museum. Get your footwork fancy down in a group class at La Catedral milonga, a dance hall with a live DJ. Traveling solo? Book a tango taxi, or dance partner paid by the hour, with whom to try a few rounds on the dancefloor, then wind down at El Boliche de Roberto, a bar notable frequented by musicians whose mournful melodies always pack out this tiny, authentic spot.
