Although the setting is a far cry from the dance halls and brothels of 19th-century Buenos Aires, a sultry evening of dancing can be had at Chelsea Market. You may be intimidated at first, but a free tango class will help you feel like El Cachafaz during the subsequent three hours of partnered dancing and live music, Fridays 5–9pm. If you work up an appetite with all the hot, sweaty action on the dance floor, step lively to Industria Argentina. This warm, Latin-themed spot is perfect for sampling a smooth malbec ($10) and exotic Argentine tapas. Try the pumpkin salad ($10) and shrimp-and-mango chevice ($14).
