FUSION ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires

City of Passion

By Jeremy Thompson

dark-haired beauty swept through the square led by a handsome
partner to the sensuous, pulsating beat of the tango. The
emblematic dance which originated here defines the very rhythm
A of Buenos Aires. The audience claps in time, already captivated
by the passion of the Argentine capital. The city is full-on.

The people - the porteños - are warm, welcoming South Americans.
The streets have a sense of drama, of theater - from the milongas, the
neighborhood dance joints to the parrillas, the glorious steakhouses that
fill the air with the scent of grilling beef. Chorizo with chimichurri at La
Carnicería in Palermo Soho was meaty magic for a carnivore like me. We
stayed at the boutique Home Hotel, a charming oasis at the heart of the
Palermo Hollywood hustle.
