Last year I began researching the very old bars and cafes of Buenos Aires known as “Bares Notables”, with a view to writing a book about them. My research is stalled because of other projects, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the bars!

Last night I went to a milonga with my friend Lina, and we went for dinner afterwards at Bar Federal, one of the oldest. I had a steak, which was as good as it looks in this photo! These old places are full of atmosphere and still brimming with life.

I will get back to that book one of these days!
