Pasaje La Defensa
Casa de los Ezeiza
This used to be a tenement where poor families settled after a yellow fever epidemic hit Buenos Aires and resulted in the rich moving to the north part of the city (today Recoleta and Retiro). It has been restored but the paint is peeling and the building has a charmingly dilapidated feel. It is crammed full of antique, bric a brac and food shops. It is a very different building to El Solar de French mentioned below but they are both great to visit.

Plaza Dorrego
The second oldest plaza in Buenos Aires, six days a week the plaza is a relatively quiet, shady space lined with restaurants and cafes. On Sundays an antiques market takes over and you can hardly see the plaza for the people and market stalls. The stalls get cleared away from about 17:00, and from 20:00 there is public dancing, including tango.

Parrilla Bar Polo
Very good local restaurant specializing in beef. Great atmosphere. The staff is friendly. Steak and fries are very good. Enjoy the local experience. Hole-in-the-wall with perfectly acceptable grilled meat. Try the vacío, it'll melt in your mouth.
