( CNN ) -- Where would you take a loved one for an anniversary or other special occasion ? Tomo 1 , a Buenos Aires classic , where food is the main focus -- far from the artifice of fashion and modernity . A comfortable environment , it 's serious and without fanfare and it has become a special place for celebrations . It 's common to see couples celebrating their wedding anniversary or groups of young businessmen eating there after a successful project . The menu is varied and of high quality , coming from one of the leading authorities in ( Argentinean cuisine ) , the chef Ebe Concaro . The wine list is one of the best in town . What 's the best place to try to spot A-list celebrities ? There are n't too many celebrities around Buenos Aires . Local celebrities often go to restaurants in Palermo Viejo , a traditional old quarter of the city , that in recent years has grown with its trendy restaurants and boutique hotels . But international visitors who visit the city often go to Puerto Madero , where the celebrated restaurant at Hotel Faena is located . What is your favorite neighborhood and why ? Palermo is my favorite neighborhood because it has a bit of everything that makes the city attractive : the nostalgia and elegance of the tango , with the energy and vitality of modern places to eat . It 's a great neighborhood to walk in or bike around . It 's where young fashion designers have their shops . And on weekends they have clothing , food and music fairs on the streets and it 's a traditional meet-up point . In the evening it 's taken over by young people who find a wide range of fun things to do there . And it was one of the places where Jorge Luis Borges lived and the setting for some of his stories . That 's why one of the main drags in the neighborhood bears his name . What is the biggest misconception about your city ? That everyone in this city knows how to dance tango and plays soccer . And that the only thing we always eat is steak , and would never choose another dish to savour . Where do you go to relax ? The Delta del Tigre , on the outskirts of the city , is a great place to take a walk and is accessible by train or bus . It 's where the Parana River flows into the Rio de la Plata through a number of streams . The lush vegetation and the silence of nature has led many folks to choose this place for their weekend homes . If you do n't have your own boat , there are group boats to take you along the river . Where was your most memorable meal ? During the late 2001 crisis in Argentina , the country was literally in flames -- enraged protesters set fire to the palm trees on Avenida 9 de Julio , the main avenue in the downtown area . There was rolling coverage throughout , so we had to order takeaway food to continue at work . And to alleviate hunger , there was the wonderful Argentine pizza -- the legacy of the Italian immigration of the early twentieth century . Our favorite pizzeria was always Los Inmortales , a historic place in this city -- a place that the legendary Carlos Gardel ( an iconic Argentine tango star ) would frequent . Where can a visitor find good souvenirs ? One place tourists rarely miss on their way through Buenos Aires is the Caminito , a quaint seaside town of colorful houses in the La Boca neighborhood . It 's near the famous La Bombonera stadium where locals go to see the Boca Juniors football team . Caminito is where tourists traditionally get most of the souvenirs that they take back home . The vast majority have motifs related to tango and you can even pay for photos of tango dancers doing their seductive moves . Where can you get the best view of the city ? The city of Buenos Aires has no highs and low points -- it 's mostly flat so there is no place that works as a viewpoint . But the Plaza Mayor with its Casa Rosada , the seat of government , the Cathedral and the Cabildo ( the government palace in Spanish viceroyalty times ) make it a popular place for taking photographs . The same goes for Puerto Madero , the last neighborhood built on land reclaimed from the city of Rio de la Plata , where restaurants , hotels and luxury buildings give it a unique look . What 's something to see that might not be on the radar ? Tourists often come to the city for tango and usually fall into the shows meant only for tourists . But for those who truly want more of this music they can find it in Las Milongas -- the place where the local dancers go to showcase their skills ( far from the show lights ) . That 's where we get to know the true spirit of this genre -- where you can understand the sensuality of their dancing and appreciate the ability of the dancers because it 's done without pretence . It 's not all about professional dancers , but rather those who work at other jobs during the week , but they love this dance and keep true the essence that made it famous throughout the world .
