The Corner

Soho South

City Desk has taken itself to a new city. While my NR colleagues are on the bounding main, I wanted a place where George W. Bush and John Kerry were only rumors, and where Alexander Hamilton was unknown. Buenos Aires fit the bill.

My hotel (the Faena) is a blend of belle epoque and post modern–mirrors, velvet, armoires with feet, armrests with swan heads, sommeliers with shaved heads.

Beef is the food of choice here–vegans would be very unhappy here. Mayor Bloomberg will be unhappy to know that people can smoke.

If I can, I will link to a picture of restaurant decorated with white unicorn heads.
