Favorite place to spend an afternoon in Buenos Aires: On the lawn of the Hipodromo racetrack located in Palermo, with a cup of Café con Leche, picking her horses by the color of the jockey’s shirt, and watching them race past the finish line.
Favorite “not in the guidebooks” spot in Buenos Aires: If you asked her to take you to her favorite restaurant, don’t expect to end up in a fancy place in Puerto Madero. La Rosalia Parrilla located on Honduras and Scalabrini Ortiz may just be the best place in the city for Parrilla (Argentine BBQ). Lauren is hoping the Lonely Planet Guidebook takes a while to discover this gem.
Did You Know: The second floor balcony of the Casa Rosada in Plaza de Mayo is the famous spot where Eva Peron addressed the people of Argentina.
Lauren grew up with a professional summer stock theatre in her backyard and her early fascination with Buenos Aires began at the age of 11 when she heard the actress playing Evita belt out “What’s new Buenos Aires” for the first time. Some may say that moving to Argentina was a pilgrimage of sorts. If you asked her, she’d tell you that certain balconies do indeed make her break into song. While she has a deep appreciation for all the unique barrios that make up Buenos Aires, she prefers to live within walking distance to either the Casa Rosada or Museo Evita.
