Cream with that?

Ask for a cafe crema in Argentina and you'll get just that. Coffee with whipped cream. Not hot milk, like in France.

Most coffees in BA come with a glass of sparkling water. Apparently it´s good for digestion.

This coffee cost $4 - that´s about 90p. Quite pricey. But that´s because it was in Palermo, BA´s smart, leafy part of town. Think NYC crossed with LA.

There´s even a poodle parlour!

And clothes shops called things like Prototype and Chenson in mini malls.

Steaks are almost double the money you´d pay in San Telmo (of which more later) and you get the feeling that you wouldn´t be granted a photo opp behind the grill. Most kitchens are out of sight anyway.

It´s worth a visit though.
