La Biela Cafe Bar

The old Cafes of Buenos Aires are one of the interesting attractions.  At La Biela in Recoleta you can sit outside and pay more, which is what most tourists seem to do.  However, if you sit inside you are more likely to be taking your cortado with the locals.

These two were local, Jose Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares both born in Buenos Aires and became giants of literature.  Casares is still local as he is buried in El Cementario Recoleta.

These two below are modern day denizens of La Biela.
