The other night we went to El Cuartito, one of the classic pizzerias in Buenos Aires. There are pizzerias all over the city. This was my first visit to El Cuartito. The place has a great old feel to it. It opened in 1934. It was good but we probably won’t go back soon, just too many other pizza places to try but if you’re in Barrio Norte then El Cuartito is worth a stop. It’s at Talcahuano 937, just look for the large green neon sign out front.

Ever since moving to San Telmo I’ve noticed this man every weekday on calle Piedras. He brings the grill and has his own little restaurant on the sidewalk in front of the signs covering an old, abandoned building. Some days he even has a bottle of wine, along with glasses, for his customers who want a drink. Just another one of those unexpected things that you encounter on the streets of Buenos Aires.
