Buenos Aires must be the noisiest city I´ve been to. The traffic is going 24/7 and every other vehicle on the road is a noisy, smelly bus. If not a bus, it´ll be a black and yellow taxi cruising up to the kerb looking for a fare. But the biggest polluters in the City are the plethora of dogs roaning the City. The worst area is probably Recoleta where the rich have professional dog walkers with a arm full of leads. The notion of poop-a-scoop is so alien here that walkikng the streets means constantly looking down else a little gift will be left on your Teva sandals as you wander the streets.
In the back streets of San Telmo was a great little parilla called Desnival. Now this was a real locals place with a plastic sheet for a table cloth and very little formalities. Again, the choice of beef cuts was bewildering and would have looked completely out of place in the local Harvester. My choice today was Vacio which was flank. Two huge pieces. It turned out to have a thick coat of fat abd was actually not the nicest piece of flank I´ve had. As a bonus in the picture we also have a piece of black pudding (very runny), chirozo (lovely) and kidneys (bit tough). For under 50 pesos per person it was cheap, but not the best beef in town. (Chips were fab though!!)
