The rain continued all afternoon Sunday, so we decide to take a respite on our 7th day and do what we typically do on Sundays in the fall…nap and watch the Redskins play like crap (well, at least in this case I didn’t have to see it, but was still able to listen to Sonny & Sam over the streaming radio feed…god bless the internet!)

Sunday night saw us heading out to Gran Bar Danzon, a really swanky wine and tapas bar in the financial district. Arriving at 10 p.m., you’d think the place would be jumping but as per usual the rules don’t apply down here (even on Sundays!). We settled in for a few drinks with a quite friendly Argentinian-American bartender who chatted us up and showed off his cocktail skills and gave us some great recs for the rest of our trip. This was probably our favorite destination bar of the whole trip to this point. Check out the wall of wine below.

For dinner, we headed to the Palermo Hollywood ‘hood which is the entertainment industry area of the city for dinner at Olsen - a Danish/Scandenavian take on traditional Argentine cuisine that they pulled of perfectly. Oh, they also have more than 100 vodkas in their vodka cellar (yes, a vodka cellar) and apparently their Sunday brunch goes until 8 p.m. At this rate, we are going to have to work harder at pretending to be portenos. I won’t bore you with another pic of Bec’s filet, but I will show you how creative some of the resto’s are down here w/ their bread - they give you a tower of fresh out of the boiler bagels to chow on while you’re ordering!
