"Just over the border from trendy Palermo is Chacarita, a neighborhood that’s quieter but increasingly full of popular restaurants and bars. That’s where you’ll find Lucrecia, a creative hotspot with lively tasting events and activities like ceramics-and-wine workshops and embroidering-and-wine tasting nights. Gather a big group, reserve in advance, and pick a bottle or three from the huge list of funky, independent labels that you won’t find elsewhere, like Carinae wines, a boutique vineyard in Mendoza. We also love their twists on classic Argentine dishes, like fried oyster mushrooms or smoked eggplant with tomato relish and cashew cream. " - annie bacher
