You’ll also find signature drinks created by expert baristas who know their craft.

This Monday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at La Rural, where there will also be live Latte Art demonstrations, workshops on beans, roasting, and brewing methods, and competitions where the country’s top baristas compete for the title. More than 70 industry exhibitors will be present, so whether you’re a coffee lover or own a café, this is the place to be.

Imagine a flavor so important to a country that its day is celebrated on the same date as its Independence. Every September 16 in Mexico, that national date coincides with International Guacamole Day: a perfect day to honor this mix of avocado, onion, lime, and a spicy touch that has conquered the world.

To celebrate, we recommend two dishes. First, wantacos from Barra Chalaca—a type of taco with wonton dough, trout tartare with sriracha, mae ploy, and togarashi sauces, balanced with a mild guacamole. Second, Spanish-style baby octopus from La Pescadorita, grilled and served on a smooth guacamole sauce.

Tip: No reservation needed at Barra Chalaca. At La Pescadorita, you can reserve here.

Where: Barra Chalaca, Arévalo 1392, Palermo; Montañeses 2599, Belgrano; La Pescadorita, Humboldt 1905, Palermo.

This Tuesday isn’t just any Tuesday: it’s Pizza and Empanada Night, the perfect excuse to go out and eat delicious food at a great price. Hundreds of pizzerias and empanada shops across the country participate with irresistible promos: 50% off pizzas and 3x2 on empanadas. Each location decides if the offer applies for dine-in, delivery, or takeout, so there’s no way to miss out.

This classic event, organized by APYCE, is already a national celebration, and this year comes with official recognition: it has been declared of National and Provincial Tourist Interest. In short, it’s not just a night to eat like champions, but also a cultural and gastronomic event that unites all Argentinians around the table.

This Friday, the National Library hosts a free event that puts law in the spotlight in a non-traditional way.

Tip: Free admission, but prior registration is required here.

The exhibition runs until the end of February 2026 and explores her career from the Di Tella days and the 60s avant-garde, through exile, dictatorship, and massive shows, to her current relevance as a cultural icon.

Tip: Open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 11 a.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday, holidays 11 a.m.–8 p.m.; closed Tuesdays.
