There is another Argentine restaurant in the Lower East Side much better than 'Buenos Aires'. It is called AZUL (Staton & Suffolk). It's small, always super packed and really good argneninian food.

"A Russian potato salad, Italian Caprese salad with mozzerella, and Waldorf salad with apples and hearts of palm all grace making one wonder what the Argentines are really eating these days." In my experience, all three of these are often eaten in Argentina (although I hope that the hearts of palm here were sustainably harvested and not illegally taken, which is common in Argentina). As a friend once said before an Asado: "An asado typically has four ingredients: salad, bread, meat, and wine. The strategy is to skip the salad and bread (they are just filler), and go straight for the meat!"
