Another super-cute Buenos Aires design boutique, Cualquier Verdura has much more than its humble…read morefront door would suggest! It's located in the touristy San Telmo area, so if you come here for the weekend market (as we did), make a side trip to this quirky and charming store. The shop consists of a series of connected rooms that open onto a small courtyard, and the idea is that each one is themed like a different room in a house, with inventory to match. So there's a "kitchen" with vintage Pyrex and novelty kitchen tools, a "living room" with records, small-press books and self-published zines, and so on. As you browse, you'll find colorful vintage housewares and gadgets, hand-crafted Etsy-type gifts (I loved the miniature knitted cactus soft sculptures), stationery, gag gifts, vintage clothing, and plenty of dishes and glassware. My boyfriend really enjoyed the sexy-lady toothbrushes in the bathroom. Beyond the themed rooms, it's not particularly organized, which makes it more of a treasure hunt. Take your time looking at the shelves, cases, and tables overflowing with crazy STUFF. Prices are pretty reasonable (or, you know, vintage reasonable) and there's tons of cute items for truly unique souvenirs and gifts for the folks back home. Plus, of course, it's Instagram heaven if you want to make everybody jealous of your cool shopping trip! If the endless stalls of the San Telmo market are giving you tourist fatigue, duck into Cualquier Verdura, soak up the hipster goodness, and fill a bag with cute handmade and vintage gifts instead.

Bond, Street Bond. More like, Bong Street! This market is…read morepretty cool- it's a punk rock stoner mall. The whole place is a canvas waiting for your tag, bumper sticker, or spraypaint. Nobody seems to mind if you wanna leave your mark behind. The shops in here are mainly head shops, comic book stores, kink shops, tattoo parlors, piercing places, and CD shops. The whole place stinks of the herba. This place is a cool place to people watch or just get something subversive that'll show my contempt for the Man. The shops in here are always fun, and they'll be sure to hook you up with a good deal on something cool. There are so many different tattoo parlors in this mall, you can really take your time and shop around and get the right one. If you're getting a World Cup tattoo, tell 'em I sent ya! There's a lot of punk rock people who just sorta hang out here. Skate or die, bruh!

The soup okay, not home made, the flan was warm and with very little dulce de leche. People from another table came much later than us and they were served first, a gentean next to me just decided to left. Not coming back, at least to the restaurant.
