Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 01:44:07 -0300 From: Janis Kenyon <jantango@FEEDBACK.NET.AR> Subject: Cafes de Buenos Aires I have had numerous requests for more information on the new book Cafes de Buenos Aires. Here is where you can find a listing of them with the addresses: https://www.tangodata.com.ar/e_bares_notables.htm Pichi de Buenos Aires Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:49:22 +0000 From: Sergio Vandekier <sergiovandekier990@hotmail.com> Subject: [Tango-L] Cafes de Buenos Aires - The day of the cafes - To: Tango-L List <tango-l@mit.edu> Today is the day of "The Cafe de Buenos Aires". "The Cafe" is an institution and a tradition in the life of Buenos Aires, a place where you can go to have a cup of coffe, meet a friend, read, and see intellectuals, politicians and artists. Going into the Tortoni to have a cup of coffee, to meet someone there, to attend any of the innumerable cultural functions offered there, is getting into the very kernel of tradition. Tradition is not the past. Tradition, transmission, comes from tradere, to give. Tradition is the offering of the best of the past to the men of the present and the future. It is not only in the walls of the Tortoni -which in themselves are worthy of a museum- but mainly in the spiritual climate that its management has wisely created, that the best of our porte?o past can be found. And one day we shall find the best of the present there, once it has aged enough. The tourist who arrives in Buenos Aires has the entire city in the Tortoni: the past, in its walls; the present, sitting at its tables; the future, in the enthusiasm of the people who work there for the sake of culture. Jos? Gobello, 1998.

We always recommend it to people for a less expensive alternative to the $100usd tango shows. But the probability of hob-nobbing with "intellectuals, politicians and artists" is about nil. The Tortoni--with reason--is mobbed by tourists, who usually have to queue at the door just to get in. Yes it is "tradition," and tradition well maintained, and for that reason is touristic--as is Caminito and San Telmo. But still very much worth while. cherie https://tangocherie.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- Sent: Tue, Oct 27, 2009 2:49 pm Subject: [Tango-L] Cafes de Buenos Aires - The day of the cafes - Today is the day of "The Cafe de Buenos Aires".
