Distrito Arcos is supposed to be an outdoor outlet, a revolutionary idea since it's located in Palermo (so the idea of proper outlets in the area is a bit laughable) and because there aren't many proper outdoor malls that aren't fairs. Apart from a few 'promos', there's not much that can justify the 'outlet' label, but it certainly is a nice mall with a bunch of brands and some cafés.
It's really well decorated, and when I visited (Friday evening) it wasn't crowded at all, which was a pleasant surprise. Pets are not allowed in, probably to preserve the cleanliness of the place. I'm not sure how popular this mall is when it's hot and sunny, or windy and rainy, but it's nice to have some variety in the city malls.
There probably aren't a lot of great deals, but it's a nice place to spend a couple of hours. The architecture is really nice, and it seems quiet and safe. The San Martín 'Palermo' station is right next to it.
