Palermo "SoHo"

Because I haven´t been spending nearly enough money lately (hah!) I went over to Palermo "SoHo" this afternoon. Palermo SoHo is part of the larger Palermo Viejo neighborhood, which in turn is part of the much larger barrio of, well, Palermo, which is the largest of the 48 barrios in Buenos Aires.

The main focal point of Palermo SoHo is little Plaza Serrano, which is right now even smaller than usual, as half of the plaza is closed for renovation. The other half was taken up by craft and clothing vendors, as were a significant minority of the bars and restaurants that bordered the plaza. The quality of the stuff being sold was, eh, enough to make the walk from Recoleta worthwhile, although the architecture of the neighborhood, as well as the people watching at Plaza Serrano I did while drinking beer at one of the sidewalk cafes not overrun with screen-printed t-shirts were the real highlights of the day.
