The little-known porteño pasaje that gives Paris a run for its money
Buenos Aires is full of undiscovered gems. In the centre of the city, amid the bustling downtown chaos, lies an oasis of calm and perhaps the most quintessentially Parisian block in the capital: Pasaje Rivarola.

Yes, Paris should be worried. Pasaje Rivarola might just steal its spotlight any day now.
Frankly, I don't see much difference between Pasaje Rivarola and the neighboring streets, except that there is no traffic there.
I think it's just about having a proper name. It sounds much better than 'Calle Uruguay entre Mitre y Perón.'
Also, I seriously doubt a successful watch restorer would call his shop a 'Graveyard of Clocks.'
You can check the Wikipedia article for the meaning of 'Chacarita.'
