Monday, June 3rd, is International Sommelier Day. Yes, for those who recommend the best wines. So, we suggest paying them tribute at La Malbequería, a spot in Palermo known not only for its wide and varied wine selection curated by renowned sommelier Fabricio Portelli but also for its extensive meat menu.

On that Monday, everyone who comes for lunch or dinner will be offered a welcome glass of wine specially selected to celebrate Sommelier Day.

Note: Next to La Malbequería is Lo de Jesús, where you can enjoy top-quality meats, pastas, and fish.

On the same day and at the same place, the 4th edition of the Argentine Gin Cup takes place, following the same format as the beer contest. The awards ceremony is at 6:20 PM. Tickets can be obtained through the contest's Instagram account or at Bierlife in San Telmo.

After triumphing in cities like New York, London, Australia, New Zealand, São Paulo, and Madrid, the musical inspired by the 2003 classic film "School of Rock" lands in Buenos Aires, and the anticipation is high.

It's the perfect time to pack your bag and escape the city for peace, bird sounds, and delicious food. Here are two perfect gastro options, ideal for celebrating dad.

One is "Corazonada" restaurant in San Antonio de Areco. Chef Paula Mendez Carreras offers a carefully thought-out multi-course menu with seasonal ingredients. It’s worth traveling the 100+ kilometers from the city to visit Corazonada.

As every year, June 28th marks International Pride Day, where the LGBTTTIQ+ community commemorates the 1969 New York riots, a clear demonstration of their fight for rights.

Located in Villa Crespo, it offers various activities, including an art gallery, the Brandon party, the Brandon Club, and Brandon Tevé, an audiovisual content producer. There's always something to do and enjoy at Casa Brandon.
