Itinerary
1
You will meet your guide in this luxurious private home in the trendy neighborhood of Palermo Viejo. Here, you will learn how to light the grill and make your chimichurri before heading out to the neighborhood butcher to purchase the main cut of steak for your lunch.
2
Once out in the neighborhood, you will get a little bit of neighborhood history and discover how this once-sleepy residential neighborhood became one of the trendiest and liveliest neighborhoods in the city.
3
We stop at this picturesque and lively plaza to learn a little bit more neighborhood and Argentine history.
4
The plaza was turned into an urban vegetable garden by the city. It is managed by the Don Julio restaurant. All of the food generated by the garden is donated to local neighborhood kitchens. All of the neighbors, as well as the restaurant, can take their organic waste to the gargen's compost center.
5
We cross the street to the local butcher shop, where we pick out our main cut of steak.
6
We walk down this narrow street called "pasaje" and learn the history of the origins of the neighborhood and why these streets exist. There is a lot of street art along these quaint narrow streets.
7
On the weekends, the plaza hosts a weekend fair. This plaza was ground zero for the creation of the neighborhood.
8
We walk down another quaint narrow pasaje and admire some more street art.

At this last stop, we pick up some freshly baked bread to go with our meal.
