Strolling through this once-traditional nook of the Argentine capital, the author found Art Deco houses on cobblestone streets, decadent churros and pizza slices, and whimsy around every corner.

Loved this story. And it mentioned this amazing website, where you can explore the city's buildings in 3D mode: https://ciudad3d.buenosaires.gob.ar/

Palermo is bland and boring - no character whatsoever. Many of its old houses have been replaced by generic apartment buildings occupied by generic middle-class people. Chacarita is authentic and vibrant but, sadly, it's been recently "discovered" by developers.
