Heladería Esmeralda

Forget about the steak, something Argentina does better than anyone else is helado (aka ice cream 🍨). Thanks to the profound influence large waves of Italian immigration had on the local population - not to mention a pathological fixation on all things sweet - you'll find an ice cream parlor on nearly every corner. There's something for everyone, from old-school classics that have been scooping up happiness for half a century to new places hyper-focused on gourmet, seasonal flavors. No matter where you end up, you'll have zero regrets about the sugar coma that follows. 🦉 Night owls, rejoice: the city's heladerías stay open quite late, so you can get your fix no matter the hour.
