Great video. Thank you. Having driven almost all of this beautiful country in its entirety over 3 of past 5 summers, my wife & I are currently visiting Buenos Aires for 2 months - our first time in this wonderful city. Last week, we enjoyed 2 cafes dating back to the 19th century - La Puerto Rico and Tortoni.
Wonderful depiction of Argentina's once-upon-a-time grandeur! For those readers who've never dared tread this far South, you must know this used to be a promise land. These hidden treasures in Buenos Aires are like the pulse of a Nation in the ER that still remembers it was destined for magnificence! Signed: a proud survivor of populist governments.
Your video was a trip down memory lane. Back in time to my childhood in the 50s. Horn & Hardart and Wanamakers in center city Philadelphia came to mind. Thanks for the memories.

Two of my favorites! Tortoni in particular. Cheers!
It's terrible to see how society has broken down in your rogue anarchistic state. Thanks for sharing.

Flaneur? Favorite?
I can talk about myself.
But my my most dependable , probably most observant, and most instructive as to why we walk flaneurs are my dogs.
Nassim Taleb. (Or, maybe Morris 😎). What a building!
No one in your video of contented diners enjoying their repasts in a gorgeous cafe from another era is suffering from rampart inflation.
The supply chains apparently are working even if prices are changing hourly. The collapse is not nigh.
With inflation at 250%/year, I wonder what it will take to stall the motor, so to speak
Ideal, esta confiteria.
Yes!
How well they live at the bottom end of the world Inflation over 200% Who cares?
